Commented out means they never happen automatically (i.e., no default). In general commitWithin is a better strategy to use... bulk updates can use a large value (or no value w/ explicit commit at end) for better indexing performance, while other updates can use a smaller value depending on how soon the update needs to be visible. -Yonik http://www.lucidimagination.com
