Nobody likes or trusts the estimates the Indexer uses and it does create a lot of anxiety in the minds of all users. the latest episode was starting L4 a few minutes ago only to see the dreaded Indexer icon with the message "Preparing your Library" followed by "Logos Bible Software is indexing (calculating time remaining)". This what the log showed:-

I calculate that the Windows Indexer timing took 3m 15s - ridiculous.
A couple of days earlier I had the same scenario as above with 1m 47.4s Indexing & Windows Indexer timing took about 1m 47s.
Both these on my laptop.
