   ### Description
   
   Our current merge throttling implementation also covers the creation of the 
compound file when `MergePolicy#useCompoundFile` returns true. But I don't 
think it is right and I suspect that it was not done intentionally:
    - My understanding is that merge throttling does not generally try to 
throttle I/O, e.g. integrity checks are not throttled. It mostly uses written 
bytes as a best-effort proxy for the amount of CPU spent on merging, so that 
merges leave CPU for searches.
    - The page cache has protection against long sequential reads/writes from 
completely trashing the filesystem cache.
   
   @mikemccand Do you know if this was intentional?
