We can use the size of the "_unindex".


However, is it really worth it?

"#objects" suggests that it is the number of objects indexed by
this index. Who is interested in this information?

Unless one has inhomogeous objects, almost all objects are indexed
by every index. Thus, "#objects" is likely to be similar for
many indexes.

A much more interesting information would be the size of the index measured
by the number of index terms.
