Uwe Schindler commented on SOLR-4375:
-------------------------------------

I was reviewing the mailing list. Actually only *one* user complained, but you 
did not ask him about backgrounds. Please note, he also complained about 
searches without term vectors are slower, which makes no sense, unless you look 
deeper into Solr and *how* he might use it:
- There may be a slowdown if you have *every* field in your schema stored in 
Solr and you retrieve something like ten-thousands of results with all stored 
fields.
- Term vectors and stord fields don't affect search times in Lucene, the 
problem is only post-result collection document fetching (see above)
- If searches without term vectors are slower in Lucene that's easy to explain: 
I assume he highlights, too and this is faster with term vectors. This 
interesting detail about his index may also explain the stored fields slowdown: 
If he hoighlight also the tenthousands of documents he fetches, the current 
setup of Solr and the highlighter may cause stored fields to be read multiple 
times (because stored fields cache is too small). If you only read one small 
field for highlighting out hundreds of fields (all stored), the block-nature of 
the stored fields format may have an block-decompressing overhead (which is not 
related to the decompression, but more that blocks must be read).

As mentioned before, everybody is free to change the default codec, no need for 
an extra setter.

-1 to change anything without more details (schema, query URL thats slower,...).
