+### Indexing Performance
+Indexing operations are slow due to Nix evaluation and file downloads. When running index commands, use appropriate timeouts:
+- **nixos-options**: ~5-6 minutes for `nixos-unstable` (with files)
+- **hm-options**: ~1-2 minutes for `master` (with files)
+
+Use `--no-files` flag for faster indexing (~1-2 minutes) if file content lookup isn't needed.
