On the other hand, if the views are re-indexed independently, then each task is reading the documents out of the database. Whereas if the views are in the same design document, the documents only get read once and then passed to each view’s map function. I would have thought the latter would be faster, but it probably depends on details of the view engine that I don’t know about. —Jens
