Hi,

This is the inverted index that is called db.words.db

>  - What is the default?

The default size is the default size chosen by Berkeley DB
(I think it is 128K which is much too small for serious indexing)

For htdig  this very important. Make the  cache as big as  you can (no
bigger than 75% of the amount of memory on your machine)

For htsearch,  well, it's  not clear how  important it is,  it doesn't
hurt to  put a big  one (the memory  is allocated by Berkeley  DB only
when it needs it...)

Marcel.
