FileDistribution never changed, it was introduced with the same
wording as it is today, which has nothing to do with a "calculation of
the corpus norm"

Let say we have maxfile=3000. Given filedistribution=1 and 1000 files
you will have 500 in the range of 1-1500 and 500 in the range of
1501-3000. Given filedistribution=0.5 you will have 600 in the range
of 1-1500 and 400 in the range of 1501-3000.
The upper part will refresh more slowly than the lower part. Actually
the collection is separated into a shortterm and longterm memory.
