Mike Klaas commented on LUCENE-1035:
------------------------------------

> Query set with average 590K results, retrieving docids for the first 5K

That seems like quite a few docs to retrieve--any particular reason why?  (It 
would be good to know if the speedup is occuring in the query phase or doc 
retrieval).  This would also explain why VInt decoding is not the bottleneck 
(it wouldn't be much-used for retrieving stored fields).

I echo Hoss' comment--proximity searching is important even if it isn't used 
much _directly_ by users.

> Index in RAMDirectory provides better performance over that in FSDirectory.
> But many indexes cannot fit in memory or applications cannot afford to
> spend that much memory on index. On the other hand, because of locality,
> a reasonably sized buffer pool may provide good improvement over FSDirectory.
> This issue aims at providing such an optional buffer pool layer. In cases
> where it fits, i.e. a reasonable hit ratio can be achieved, it should provide
> a good improvement over FSDirectory.
