Fulltext search loading down my server

I have 300k rows in my db, 1 gig of ram. I do fulltext indexing on a
large field (textual). It appears that fulltext indexing puts a lot of
strain on my server. I start bumping up iowait numbers pretty hard.

Has anyone seen this, anything I can do.

Alternative is to build tables of words as PHPBB does.

Any performance tradeoffs. I do know the functionality tradeoffs.

Thanks,

steve
