Hi Grant, Lucene 2.2.0
I'm not actually explicitely storing term vectors. It seems the huge amount of byte arrays is actually coming from SegmentReader.norms. Maybe that cache constantly grows as I read somewhere that it's on-demand. I'm not using any field or document boosting..is there some way to optimize around this?

Your subject line implies you are storing term vectors, is that the case? Also, what version of Lucene are you using?
