There will be eventually be some official docs for the indexers but for now,
here's the quick and dirty:

* Original Indexer - this is the indexer that has been released with
previous version of the CDT based on the initial version of the CDT parser.

Advantages - Full information parse information (references, declarations,
definitions), stable

Disadvantages - Slow (which is especially problematic if you're trying to
import a large existing code base into the CDT; if you're starting from
scratch on a new project, it's reasonable)

* DOM Indexer - this is an indexer based on the new CDT parser

Advantages - Full parse info (references, declarations, definitions);
Correctness of parse info is improved over the original indexer

Disadvantages - Slower than the original in M6 but that's slated for a tune
up come M7

* CTags Indexer - Makes use of Exuberant CTags (5.5.4 recommended)

Advantages - Fast

Disadvantages - No cross reference information (can't perform search for
references)

We have plans to try to speed up the performance of the DOM Indexer for M7
and possibly put in a Hybrid Indexer that will use CTags for all folders not
marked as Source Folders and the DOM Indexer for Source Folders.

I found CDT3 is very slow!
Does CDT3 fixed this problem if a problem it is?
