Repeat multiple compilations using different settings

I noticed that some three-word and four-word phrases that I thought should be coming up for some doctors, weren't. So I've been trying an experiment.

I compiled Dr. Repetto's folder using a word frequency of 6 and maximum words per phrase of 10. Then I compiled the same folder again using a word frequency of 2 and a MWPP of 5. Then I Included both glossaries in Dr. Repeto's shell glossary, putting the 2 5 glossary above the 6 10 one. (I am also using ABCZMed2 with this and do not have short codes set to come first.)

So far I seem to have an immediate jump in productivity of about 10 points, as it seems that there are more short phrases available. I use lots of templates or the percentage jump would no doubt be even higher.

Perhaps Jean will tell me this is an illusion, but if not, I'd like to hear how others fare or have fared with this method.

As an example:
First compilation of Dr. Repeto using 6 and 10:
Size of files in folder: 1.7 MB.
Freq: 6
WPP: 10
Words: 1977
Phrases: 7739
Phrase Groups: 515
Ave: 15.0
Size of Glossary: 439 KB

Second compilation of Dr. Repeto using 2 and 5:
Size of files in folder: 1.7 MB.
Freq: 2
WPP: 5
Words: 3705
Phrases: 16023
Phrase Groups: 642
Ave: 24.9
Size of Glossary: 439 KB
