I sent answer on the similar question several hours ago to rt-devel(or
rt-users).
AFAIK each DB has own SQL syntax to use FULLTEXT index on the column
and this is not  implemented in the DBIx::SB.
I recall some message about Oracle, there were really good explanation
about how to speed up this on Oracle, search for it archives (most
probably rt-devel).
