Well, packed ints are more compact, but the decode cost would probably
be catastrophic :)

Maybe you could also use a smaller type (byte[], short[]) for sequence
ids, but, you'd then have to handle wraparound/overflow.  (In fact
even w/ int[] you have to handle wraparound?  long[] is probably safe
:) )  EG on overflow, you'd have to allocate all new (zero'd) arrays
for the next re-opened reader?

Yes, in a normal reader  (ie, not testing NRT -- just testing cost of
applying deletes via int cmp instead of BV lookup).
