No, I do not use compression_level attribute in my config file; it has its
default value, I suppose.

Here is a detail comparison of 3.1.5 database with 3.2.0b3; would you
please make comments under each comparison why they differ between the two
versions, and if the difference is what you would expect:

3.1.5: total 77961
3.2.0: total 55520

Total 3.2.0 database is smaller than 3.1.5 database by 28%

3.1.5: -rw-r--r--  1 jjah  www  27593728 Mar  4 02:30 db.docdb
3.2.0: -rw-r--r--  1 jjah  www   1409024 Mar  4 01:40 db.docdb

3.2.0 db.docdb is smaller than 3.1.5 db.docdb by 95%

3.1.5: -rw-r--r--  1 jjah  www    563200 Mar  4 02:30 db.docs.index
3.2.0: -rw-r--r--  1 jjah  www    655360 Mar  4 01:40 db.docs.index

3.2.0 db.docs.index is larger than 3.1.5 db.docs.index by 16%

3.1.5: -rw-r--r--  1 jjah  www  25292453 Mar  4 02:29 db.wordlist
3.2.0: -rw-r--r--  1 jjah  www  38780928 Mar  4 01:40 db.excerpts

3.2.0 db.excerpts is larger than 3.1.5 db.excerpts by 53%
Is this a correct comparison, or apples and oranges?

3.1.5: -rw-r--r--  1 jjah  www  26284032 Mar  4 02:29 db.words.db
3.2.0: -rw-r--r--  1 jjah  www  17954816 Mar  4 01:45 db.words.db

3.2.0 db.words.db is smaller than 3.1.5 db.words.db by 32%

> How does search speed compare now?

I have only made anecdotal comparisons to make a meaningful report; they
indicate 3.2.0b3 to be between 25% and 30% slower than 3.1.5.  The search
time has been so short, (~3 seconds versus ~5 seconds) that it was too
close to study the difference.

Joe
