So if Alan wants to limit it to the first 100 he can't really use a range search unless he can guarantee that the index is optimized after deletes, but then if his deletion rounds are anything like mine ( every 2 mins) then optimizing it at each delete will make searching the index really slow. Right?

Gaps in id's exist when documents are removed, and then the id's are squeezed back to completely sequential with no holes during an optimize.
