Using boosts will definitely use less resources than sorting. If you do use sorting for dates, be sure you're doing it numerically rather than lexicographically.

I have a large index that needs to yield very fast query times. I am sorting by date as default since I am interested in the most recent documents. I was wondering if I boosted the score of my documents in proportion to the date and not sorting would this increase search performance. Thoughts?
Thanks,
Michael
