Normally, just the non-indexed emails.

squatter -i (incremental) should be all you need to fill the gaps in your index.

Obviously how long it takes depends on how much mail has arrived and how good your disks are, but for 12 hours worth I wouldn't expect more than a couple of hours to fill the gaps.

It's ok to run them all at the same time. Cyrus has appropriate locks to make sure that Xapian updates and repacks don't get in each others' way.
