Just as another data point for others who might experience the same issue ... indexing over a NAS can take a very long time, and it's mainly due to the NAS protocol you're using it. It's not just indexing, but usually ANY file operation over a NAS will take longer (rename, move, delete, etc.) . I don't know what protocol Synology NAS is using, they seem to perform faster than most.
