/me starts lurking around at [EMAIL PROTECTED] :)

Another question. Do any of the other indexers out there work around
this problem somehow? And if so, how?

I mean, the problem is many small write():s and blocks being allocated
directly during write() instead of at page flush time, right? Can't you
merge several write operations together? Or maybe you already do that
"1000-5000 words at a time"? If not, could the on disk format be changed
to allow for merging several write():s together?

Also, is it really necessary to fsync() so often?
