Hi Siraj,
The usual answer to questions like yours ("Will performance of Lucene component
X against my N records be good enough?") is "It depends": on the nature of the
queries, the nature of the documents, the hardware you run on, etc. That said,
if you construct your query objects once and reuse them, it'll likely be
extremely fast.
Here are some benchmarks (which I found by Googling "Lucene MemoryIndex") using
PyLucene:

Give it a try! Lucene is pretty easy to get started with. Ask questions if
you run into trouble.
Good luck,
Steve
