Compound was a *lot* slower indexing in past versions of Lucene... It's probably better now, but I'm not sure by how much. Multi-threaded search performance is also generally a little worse (because of the fewer file descriptors). Some recent changes in Lucene (cloning the CFS Descriptor, NIO, etc) suggest we should look into changing the default for 1.4 after some tests have been done to verify. -Yonik
