2 hours?! Have you thought about doing the crawl on a server, and getting people to subscribe to the data? You could also sell the processed data to other companies...

There's just something Not Quite Right about 1000 people running your application, all simultaneously raping the search engines for 2 hours straight... wouldn't it be better to do it once, and explode that data to your customers?
