Actually, I've been doing that while waiting for a reply here - but I can't quite figure out what's going on. According to the docs, 'make_index' is supposed to run automatically as soon as I exec a 'get_message' method - but the cache file never gets created, no matter what I do (!). I've been trying to figure that out for the past hour or so; still haven't found anything like an answer.

What I really wish is that I actually understood this process of indexing (I have some hazy conception of saving pointers to message positions within the file, and then reusing those instead of traversing the entire file, but no clue of how to make that work efficiently.) I would have preferred to write that part myself, but had to rely on a module instead.
