Here is how I was testing: stop Solr, delete the "data" folder, start Solr, start indexing, and finally check index size.
I used the same pattern for the before and after my (see my original email) and each time I run this test, the index size ended up being larger; restarting Solr did the trick. Each document I'm adding is unique so there is no deletion involved here at all. I'm testing this on Windows, so that maybe a factor too (the OS is not releasing file handles?!)
