Actually, it does not. The only call to index.optimize is in the rebuild_index method. A possible extension for aaf is that index.optimize is called automatically each C insertions, where C is some constant (1000 seems reasonable).
I can only agree with Jan on scalability, at the moment I'm keeping an index of over 700.000 bibliographic records. Searches are instant.
