Index space requirements

Hi,

I have a index which is about 4g.b in size . now if i opmimize this index it seems to take extra space of abt. 2-3g.b during the optimization step. Once this is done the size again comes down. 

What i would like to know is weather there is a basis on which i can calculate the amount of space which would be required for optimizing a given index . 

Thanks and Regards
Harpreet

The space used doubles during optimization, I believe.
