Way back in November 2014, when Xapian's presence in Sword was new, I 
experimented with it. The problem I found is that its generated indices 
are absolutely humongous. At the time, I wrote to the list here to say 
that they were a 7x size increase, and that what was once a couple 
Gbytes had ballooned to 23.2Gbytes when I went through a round of 
mkfastmod for all my installed modules.

I would reference this from sword-devel archives, but www.crosswire.org 
is failing to respond right now.
