Sorry for the confusion ... We use a large number of index fields to facilitate queries, but I was refering to the memory used by our application on the whole -- which as Robert guessed involes lots of continuous updates, and periodic optimizes. From what I can tell, (or I should say: from what I understand talking to Yonik) the place where the norms hurt us is during the optimize calls -- particularly after some biz process has caused a large number of documents to be added to the index. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
