\b\fs28 Overview
\b0\fs24 \
\
This example demonstrates different usages of the IXStoreFile class of the Indexing Kit such as store compaction, abort,  allocation and block resizing. In particular, it shows the level of efficiency for different combinations (block size, number of blocks, etc.). It allows the user to experiment with different store sizes before implementing a real program.  \

\b0 This is done in the Controller class, with the method ping:sender. Note that if you can remove the perform:with:afterDelay:cancelPrevious: to speed up the execution.\
