Actually that can be regarded as good news - it means that ordering by
wdf is about as good as ordering by position list length.  So we can
use wdf and avoid having to open all the position lists in some cases,
but still benefit from looking through the shorter position lists first
which minimise the amount of checking work we have to do.

Anyway, thanks for benchmarking the two.
