Of sorts, that guy is right about some things, as mentioned though, PHP
is an interpreted language and therefore will always be slower to parse
than compiled java code, with regards to memory usage in that article,
that entirely depends on the cli script that was written to do the
indexing, what it is indexing and the environment that it was running on
(which given the memory limit, I can only assume isnt particularly powerful)
The java version of lucene is by far a better choice if you have
enourmous amounts of data to index, but for smaller scale projects
Zend's implementation is perfectly usable, using caches properly and
writing efficient code helps this massively.
Most of zend's lucene issues are generally nothing to do with it at all
an are mostly due to the php engine itself (memory management/limits,
threading etc)
Hope that helps a bit
