Full text index population is slow

I have 1 milion rows on a SQL server 2005 SP1 with 2 Text columns to
be indexed.
The DB is replicated on another server. Transactional.
On the Publisher the population take the CPU near the 100% for 3 day
and then the work is done.
On the subscriber, that is also the distributor the work don't end.
The CPU of the server is at the 100% (2 XEON 4GB Ram).
In the profiler i see many commands SP_fulltext_getdbdata ma the
sp_fulltext_pending_changes return ever the same numbre of pending
rows or more.
The columns contains italian word.
Someone can help me.
Something is very wrong here. What do the gatherer logs say. You can find
them in c:\Program Files\Microsoft sql server\mssql.X\mssql\log
and they look like SQLFT0018700017.log.X
