Yonik Seeley commented on LUCENE-1799:
--------------------------------------

Hmmm, interesting.  I'm sure my JVM is 64 bit, and I just double-checked that 
the IDE is using that to launch the benchmark.  The differences we see might be 
down to CPU?

Here's my 64 bit JVM I'm using:
java version "1.6.0_21"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_21-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0-b16, mixed mode)

And I just tried a 32 bit one (also -server) I had laying around:
java version "1.6.0_18"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_18-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 16.0-b13, mixed mode)

32 bit results:
ret=713832704 UTF-8 encode: 35895
ret=713832704BOCU-1 encode: 55855

> In lucene-1793, there is the off-topic suggestion to provide compression of 
> Unicode data. The motivation was a custom encoding in a Russian analyzer. The 
> original supposition was that it provided a more compact index.
> This led to the comment that a different or compressed encoding would be a 
> generally useful feature. 
> BOCU-1 was suggested as a possibility. This is a patented algorithm by IBM 
> with an implementation in ICU. If Lucene provide it's own implementation a 
> freely avIlable, royalty-free license would need to be obtained.
> SCSU is another Unicode compression algorithm that could be used. 
> An advantage of these methods is that they work on the whole of Unicode. If 
> that is not needed an encoding such as iso8859-1 (or whatever covers the 
> input) could be used.
