Re: bytecount as String and prefix length

[Doug Cutting]

Another approach might be to, instead of converting to UTF-8 to strings 
right away, change things to convert lazily, if at all.  During index 
merging such conversion should never be needed.  You needn't do this 
systematically throughout Lucene, but only where it makes a big 
difference.  For example, if you could avoid strings in 
SegmentMerger.mergeTermInfos() it might make a huge difference.  This 
might be as simple as changing SegmentMergeInfo to use a TermBuffer 
instead of a Term.  Does that make sense?
