Hi Prashant,
8 seconds as the minimum time is a little too much, though considering
you're using just 4G of RAM its still ok.
I would advice you to break your index into smaller indexes, perhaps
selectively query the indexes (if that's possible for your application) and
use a parallelmultisearcher. Its just something that you might try and like.
All said and done, parallelizing would only get you a bell-curve like
performance graph, so you'd have to figure out the sweet spot there.
