I am not sure if the initial slowness is due to incorrect configuration but
it is likely due to the fact that you must retrieve the full-text catalog
pages off disk.
Also what is your max memory set to? You should leave at least 512 Mgs free
for MSSearch/MSFTESQL.

to script fulltext indexes you need to script the underlying tables and
