Absolutely! Especially when you are trying to find max RAM for buffers, sooner or later you hit gc(), and this is 100% environment dependant and has nothing to do with Lucene, would happen with anything. What was our problem in the first setup is that we reached maximum much, much earlier at 32Mb (so, no gc() or other environment effects were kicking in, this was something to do with wrongly set maxBufferedDocs, but I do not understand it enough to say exactly what) ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
