That's just a mapping table -- it maps the config names ("None",
"Stemming_en", etc.) to the code for that stemmer.

The difference between 2.4.3 and 2.4.4 is that we removed the old
Porter stemmer so Stem and Stemming_en were changed to use the new
snowball stemmer code instead of the old Porter code.

But, your problem was due to the number of files/words indexed, right?
