Do we have any metrics on the time taken to index media files or the latency for performing semantic searches on them?

I'm on an M2 and it takes <5 minutes to index a 2hr movie. If you're trying to index a lot of media at once, we will queue it up to be indexed. We also do smart sampling to detect similar frames so if it two talking heads vs. a lot of different shots, it will process faster. In that case the audio is more valuable for the talking heads.

The semantic search queries typically take 100-250ms.
