I've recently blogged about bugzilla's performance deficiencies and how they 
can be fixed:
http://www.confuego.org/archives/13-Improving-Bugzilla-search-speeds.html

I already prepared a patch to Bugzilla to allow others to integrate what I 
developed and submitted it for their review. If it gets accepted I'd also 
backport it to make integration with bugs.kde.org possible. I can currently 
think of two drawbacks my solution has:
- The indexes are huge (I'd guess around 40-80 GiB on bugs.kde.org)
- New changes aren't pushed immediately to the index. Multi-level indexes 
("deltas") are cheap though.

Michael
