Hi
the total no of docs size upto 120 MB
the average size of the document is around 400KB.

just to check that it is not happening only for 1000 docs, i repeated the
experiments for less no of docs(200), but still increasing the merge factor
didnt improve the performance.
can you tell me the parameters that affect the performance to a large
extent. I have just upgraded to lucene.net 2.0 version.

the documents are stored in the main memory until the merge, so if you
increase very much the merge factor, the memory could grow until
virtual memory is used, with the penalization that it
involves.
