My understanding is that hard drive IO is the main bottleneck, as the operation is mainly a file copy. So to directly answer your question, I believe the overall file size of your indexes will linearly effect the performance profile of your optimizations.

What is the performance profile of optimizing an index? By that I mean, what are the primary variables that negatively impact its speed (i.e. index size (bytes, docs), number of adds/deletes since last optimization, etc). For example, if I add a single document to a small (i.e. < 10K docs) index and still have that index open (but would otherwise close it until the next update, a few minutes later), what type of a performance hit would optimizing the index be? Does that cost change as the index gets bigger or is it tied to the number of changes that need to be rolled in? -Mike --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
