At this point, only the datetime deltas use merging... when I tried to get 
merging working with standard deltas, I found it unreliable. That was over a 
year ago, though, so maybe things have changed.

However, with real-time indexes now appearing in the latest Sphinx beta, 
hopefully we can get that into Thinking Sphinx over the coming months.
