To be fair. This has nothing to do with the cleaner. It's the result of
massive optimizations on the kioslaves. Also, there have been many
improvements in the nepomuk storage service and Soprano.

Also, if you want to do some specialized searches, please read -
http://userbase.kde.org/Nepomuk/kioslaves/search

I haven't experimented with the search functionality in Dolphin yet but the

The Krunner results are going to be a LOT slower than in comparison the
Dolphin or kioslaves. The main reason is that krunner shows all kinds of
results. Dolphin/kioslaves only show results which have URLs (This includes
emails btw).

I can add a progress bar in KDE/4.10. But the real changes [1] would break
string freeze. Plus, this cleaner was/is more of an experiment in seeing if
this is a good idea.
