Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-3141:
------------------------------------

bq. I am always talking about relevance-ranked results and numerics.

And those are often not the bottleneck for Solr users.

There are a few issues here:
- the queries we often see in the field can be vastly more complex than the 
standard ones that lucene tests with
- people are often most concerned with their slowest queries, not their average 
query speed (as long as they can meet throughput needs)
- full-text search is often not the bottleneck at all 

Another issue that I've seen a couple of customers hit: big memory increases in 
the field cache as the number of segments grows.  The string index values are 
not shared per-segment, and hence in the worst case, 2 times the number of 
segments equals almost 2 times the memory for the per-segment FieldCache 
entries.

There are tradeoffs to a lot of these things, and we should be careful to not 
fall into a "one size fits all" mentality.

> Background: LUCENE-3454 renames optimize() as forceMerge(). Please read that

> Now that optimize() is rarely necessary anymore, and renamed in Lucene APIs,
