Your basic assumptions about the underlying mechanisms are incorrect. The size of the index has nothing to do with the transaction logs... and transaction logs are never "written to index" except in recovery. You would see the same index size behavior w/o transaction logs, and it has to do with some data being cached in memory on soft commits but always being flushed to disk on hard commits.
