Hey. I havent adjusted mergefactor at all. My plucene index directory 
contains 121 files in total, which makes me wonder why it's keeping 9600 
files open as we speak. Even if it has all files open in the 13 running 
apache instances, that should only be like 1500 files, so it must be 
opening the same files more than once.
