Not quite sure what you mean by this. What I did prior to indexing was issuing the DB maintenance function for that database, which "vacuumed" it and did made inconsistency checks. So the DB to be indexed was sound and minimized.
That said, my gut feeling is that how bigger the DB to be indexed is, the bigger the resulting index DB will be:
Code:
@thiago.eec -> 5.04 GB, with index DB 1.18 GB
@Drchiper -> 6.05 GB, with index DB 4.4 GB
@Sirtel -> 7.60 GB, with index DB 3.7 GB
What is not yet is considered is the kind of involved ebook contents, which surely has impact. Mine hardly contain pictures, but do have many words (250+ pages) So: YMMV.
