Why not leave your computer on in sleep mode overnight until it finishes?

okay thanks

The speed of indexing depends on a number of factors.
1. How busy your PC is (indexing 'backs off' (pauses) on the slightest activity
2. Your hardware- data transfer rates
3. How much - what- you've chosen to index in Settings and Indexing Options
4. Whether you've enabled content indexing or not

Start by watching the number of items indexed occasionally and see how that progresses. Look at your task manager- resource usage.
