Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-2970:
--------------------------------------------

bq. well it seems it might work for an NFA too?

Sorry, yes -- the algo doesn't care if it's N or D.  It works for both.

> SpecialOperations.isFinite can have TERRIBLE TERRIBLE runtime in certain 
> situations

> in an application of mine, i experienced some very slow query times with 
> finite automata (all the DFAs are acyclic)
> It turned out, the slowdown is some terrible runtime in 
> SpecialOperations.isFinite <-- this is used to determine if the DFA is 
> acyclic or not.
