I believe that, in general, you'll find that ParallelMultiSearcher is much slower than just using a MultiSearcher. ParralelMultiSeacher is of use when you can put the different indexes on separate hard drives or even better, separate systems (using RMI or something).

Yes, it takes quite some time to build it and it's not changed but rebuilt from scratch.

Perhaps, in some esoteric case, multiple readers is the right idea

I recently talked to a guy how stated that they'd solved their performance issues by breaking up the index into multiple sub-indices and searching them in parallel (probably using ParallelMultiSearcher)...hmm, well, I've had (and still have) my doubts but on the other hand what's the benefit of ParallelMultiSearcher if it doesn't scale better than searching a monolithic index?
