In addition to performing the copy operation, run L<xapian-compact(1)>
-on each Xapian partition after copying but before finalizing it.
+on each Xapian shard after copying but before finalizing it.
Compared to the cost of copying a Xapian database, compacting a
Xapian database takes only around 5% of the time required to copy.
