We were thinking of doing a major compaction after each year is 'closed
off'. This would mean that compactions for the current year were dealing
with a smaller amount of data and hence be faster and have less impact on a
day-to-day basis. Our query patterns will only infrequently cross year
boundaries.

Are we being naive ?
