Once in a blue moon, the addition of a single document could possibly cause cascading merges, essentially the same as an optimize. One way to avoid this is to set a large mergeFactor... the downside being that you get more segments and have to optimize occasionally to keep it under control.
Actually, without setting the mergeFactor higher, a better way to control a cascading merge would probably be maxMergeDocs... then perhaps optimizing once a night at off-peak hours. -Yonik
