Reduce usage of String.intern(), performance is terrible

                 Key: LUCENE-1600
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1600
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.4.1, 2.4
         Environment: Windows Server 2003 x64
Hotspot JDK 1.6.0_12 64-bit
            Reporter: P Eger
            Priority: Minor
         Attachments: intern.png, intern_perf.patch

I profiled a simple MatchAllDocsQuery() against ~1.5 million documents (8 
fields of short text, Field.Store.YES,Field.Index.NOT_ANALYZED_NO_NORMS), then 
retrieved all documents via searcher.doc(i, fs). String.intern() showed up as a 
top hotspot (see attached screenshot), so i implemented a small optimization to 
not intern() for every new Field(), instead forcing the intern in the 
FieldInfos class and adding a optional "internName" constructor to Field. This 
reduced execution time for searching and iterating through all documents by 
35%. Results were similar for -server and -client.
