Yes, the whole purpose of fragment rules is to create more fragments. It isn't necessarily a win for accurate estimate: accuracy could also get worse, depending on your use cases.
But if the fragment counts didn't change, then the fragment root probably had an error in its specification. Wrong namespace, maybe? I wouldn't worry about it: from what I'm reading in this thread, I don't think you'd benefit from fragmenting these documents. If you do want to review it more thoroughly, though, I'd start by asking for content statistics. What are the min, max, and median sizes of your documents, and how much of that size is in cite elements? What are the min, max, and median counts of cite elements per document? -- Mike On 18 Oct 2011, at 17:53 , Will Thompson wrote: > Ah, that makes sense.
