Ok, I know that the smaller your index size is the better for the search engine. (or at least I think I know...)
My site is @ 27K with 17th rank on Google on the most important key word.
Looking at all top 10 sites, 6 of them are under 5K, 2 of them are under 10L, and last 2 are @ 26~28K.
Should I try to make my index under 5K by moving my current index to say 'main' and creating another index?
Would this do anything for the site?
I had this thought for quite some time, but was little afraid to loose my current position on Google.
p.s. Also, can anybody mention something about "document.location" script? - good , bad, etc.?
Thanks!

Probably not. Then the "main" page would have all of the content (keywords), and the "index" page would no longer have anything, or much of anything, on it to be searched.
I've personally not seen evidence that making a page smaller is better for SERPs.. perhaps others have, but probably not significantly.

For what use?
That is not extremely high in my opinion. However, you may find it to be more user friendly by spreading the info out a little.

If you want the link to be crawled, don't use JavaScript.

Added: document.location(href="domain.com"); is use to redirect the browser to a new page.
