I described the solution to Greg on irc yesterday -- take the fulltexts
out of the database, and put them into the filesystem. Of course, I was
worried about DB object size limits, not transaction logs -- but this
solutino fixes both problems. We lose transaction control on fulltext
contents -- but so what, we don't need it anyway.
