Bob Dionne updated COUCHDB-477:
-------------------------------

    Comment: was deleted

(was: I tested this all against a clean checkout of trunk and it looks good. 
The new algorithm is faster on inserts[1] but interestingly for single inserts 
is makes for a larger db pre-compact. After compaction the db is smaller by a 
factor of 3

I thought we leave the new "sequentially random" as the default? Paul, is the 
concern just what's advertised to users?

Algorithms based on the system clock I think can be problematic as they assume 
all machines have the correct time.
