To -F or not to -F? That is the question.



Hello all.  I've got a situation where I need to selectively search a
subset of a set of files.  I've come up with two solutions and I thought
I'd see if anyone has any advice for me on choosing between them.  My
cheif concern is performance, but manageability runs a close
second!  Here's my ideas:

1) Use the -F option to limit searches based on filename.  This will work
since the files I need to select are marked in their names.  I would then
be able to run one glimpseserver that could handle all requests.

2) Index each set of distinct files separately and run a separate
glimpseserver for each group.  This will also work, as long as I have a
different -H dir for each group.

So, what do the experts say?  Do you need more information about my task?
