> Currenly the database compaction code uses an hard coded batch size of 1 000 doc infos and a checkpoint frequency of 10 000 (a checkpoint is done after every 10 000 documents are copied to the compaction file).
> As part of the experiment/discussion of COUCHDB-1132, it was agreed to make both these values configurable (see the comments of that issue). The results I posted there also show that increasing the batch size results in a smaller file size. I made some tests after this on a 2.2Gb database, and I noticed that at least in this machine (Linux 32 bits, 5400rpms spinning disk), increasing the batch size increases compaction time - this might necessarily be true on other systems.
> Here are some tests (before running each, I cleared my filesystem caches with "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches").
> Fpr this particular database, 1 000 doc infos correspond to about 100Kb.
> 2.2Gb database, 232 551 documents
