  Well I'm just suggesting you try both and try to see how it
affects the user experience, then select the solution accordingly.
I'm just afraid that for small docs, chnking will slow down the
initial rendering and force the user to click too many times
before getting to the information. An automatically generated index
on top of a single flat file may actually be faster to render and
for the user to get to the informations.
