SharePoint 2007 Crawl / Index extremely slow

If a list does not have a default view, it can cause severe indexing / crawling problem.

Please see: crawl taking indefinitely to complete

Another good post about SharePoint 2007 crawling and how to improve indexing performance:

Problem: the document library (Project Document) has way too many views. After most of the views are deleted, then stsadm import worked fine (do an export again, of course). However, I don't know what the maximum number of views a document library can have without causing import error.

Also make sure that there is no space issue.
