I don't know the technical details, but I have experienced some problems when trying to do this. I have an index of about 275K short documents, and in an ideal world I'd be updating it continuously. Right now I wait until the off-hours because if I'm updating the index at all, searches tend to cause my mongrel procs to either hang (100% CPU util), or segfault (documented in a ticket on the ferret track). I have processes in place to correct these problems when they occur, but it's still discouraging because I can't keep the data as fresh as I'd like it to be.
