I installed the new version and grabbed pdftotext. This time my computer is usable while the initial search runs in the background. pdftotext also speeds up the process quite a bit.

Another odd quirk: I have a six-core processor. The readme file indicated that the default number of parallel processes should be set to the number of CPUs, but in mine it was default set to 12. It's possible that was another reason it was running so slow before. It may be some oddity stemming from my particular CPU (AMD Ryzen 2600) though.
