The compound format slows indexing performance slightly, but should not
affect search performance much. It radically reduces the number of file
handles used when searching, by a factor of eight or more, depending on
how many indexed fields you have.
Perhaps the compound format should be the default format in 1.4. Can
folks provide any benchmarks for how it affects performance?
