Depends on what scenarios you consider, and what you are taking 2x of.

1) Open reader on index
2) Open writer and add two documents... the first causes a large
merge, and the second is just to make it a non-optimized index.
  At this point youre already at 2x of your original index size.
3) call optimize()... this will make a 3rd copy before deleting the 2nd.
