My Data.fs is growing by an average 200K each time I add an object to my application. Please note that I have added the code to cause a reindexing of the Catalog after such an object is added. I have narrowed this size increase down to being a result of calling the reindex_object() method in order to update my Catalog with the change. My question is if this is a side effect of having my classes be CatalogAware. I have a full text index that is rather lengthy. It handles the container object and all subobjects (possibly 200+ 'data element' objects). Once I removed my full text index, the size decreased to about 27K per operation. If my problem is a side effect of using a full text index or the ZCatalog, what alternative can I explore? I MUST be able to provide a search capability on the entire text, but I can't afford a 200K increase for each little change. I have to be able to handle 2K+ of these operations daily.
