I would expect that NOT insisting on total hit count (the way Lucene defaults
now) is more common use case, so this optimization is indeed compelling.

> Short documents are more likely to get higher scores, so sorting an index by
> field length would mean we would be likely to collect best matches first.
> Depending on the similarity implementation, this might even allow to early
> terminate collection of top documents on term queries.
