I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but I think this is an excellent
article that the Lucene development team might find helpful.
I have often been dismayed at complex code being written to achieve
"negligible" performance improvements. Most often, a micro benchmark
is used to justify the change.
Worse, spending effort putting hacks into Lucene when they are
clearly JVM bugs. I think it would be a far better use of resources
to lobby Sun/others through the appropriate channels to get the
underlying issue corrected.
I know that there have been many performance improvements in Lucene
as of late, but almost all of these have been algorithm changes - not
obscure bit twiddling...
Anyway, it is at http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/
