With incremental and/or snapshot repair which actually works (arriving Real Soon Now) the inputs into the cost/benefit analysis change. On ticket, Jonathan Ellis waves his hands and asserts that current costs are likely to be equal in the typical user's case. This suggests that the typical user is doing a bunch of DELETE in a log structured database with immutable data files, which seems rather unlikely to me... =Rob
