I would never
have guessed that calling the constructor there could make such a difference.
The improvement is greatest for OR queries that contain a common term, i.e., which match a large portion of the collection. However for, e.g., most phrase searches and AND searches the improvement is probably not so pronounced. When folks use Lucene as a vector-space search engine, constructing queries that represent large weighted vectors, the improvement is substantial.
