Mass indexing is not ZCatalogs strength, no. M$ Index Server will also take 
a while to index a lot of documents though.

Usually, you set up new classes for your information that index themselves 
in a Catalog object. This way you only index, reindex and unindex when 
individual objects are created, changed or deleted. No scheduled indexing 
sweeps are then needed.
