Hi All,

I am new to Lucene and I was reading 'Lucene in Action' this weekend.
The book recommends that optimization be performed when the index is not in use.
The book makes it clear that optimization *may* be performed while indexing but 
it says that optimizing while indexing makes indexing slower.
However, the book does not explain *why* indexing would be slower while 
optimizing.
Since I know that optimization will create new segments and not mess with the 
old ones, I'm confused as to how optimizing may cause indexing to slow down.

Any ideas?


Thanks,
ted stockwell
