searching archives should be a weeeee bit faster ...

I spent this aft enabling debugging on the postmaster side, and determined
that there was a critical index missing on one of the tables ... there was
no index on the url.rec_id field, so a query that looks like:

SELECT rec_id, site_id, pop_rank FROM url WHERE rec_id IN

ORDERBY rec_id; 

was doing a sequence scan over 230k+ records in the URL file each time ...
created the index, and now I can actually get results ~32sec for the
single string (mvcc) that I've been using for testing, instead of it never
seeming to come back ...

hopefully that was the major part of it ...
