Using multiple temporary indexes during updates

[Jean-Francois Dockes]

Hi,

I have been playing at converting the index update stage of the Recoll indexer to use
multiple temporary indexes and a final merge.

This yields an improvement factor of almost 3 (on my quad-core CPU), for the total
indexing time for "easy" files like HTML pages. This is nice (!) and I wanted to share my
admiration for the "compact()" method.

If someone is interested in a bit more detail:

Cheers,
