Sorry, we never measure text for indexing in bytes :). We measure number
of parts (piece) of text, such as mail message etc. Our test base
contains ~500000 mail messages from PostgrSQL, Perl, Mason and Linux
mailing lists and works fine.
BTW It seems to me this thread is offtopic here. Let's move our
discussion to openfts mailing list :)
