your guess on catalog aware is right on the dot.  the site (www.emedia.com.my) 
is mainly a news site.   articles are stored via a pubZclass and is catalog
aware.  i've been updating the catalog hourly to stop numerical error when doing
searches.  will updating the catalog help reduce the size?  i see that it does
not.  it may have caused the increase.  if i stop updating the catalog, users
will see the random numerical key error.  how to sync the catalog only when
necessary, instead of reindexing.

how does zope.org tackle this.  i assume, zope.org
does have a catalog aware classes somewhere.

thanks
