Are you creating new IndexSearchers or IndexReaders on each search? Caching your IndexSearchers has a dramatic effect on speed.
David Townsend -----Original Message----- From: Michael Celona [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 18 February 2005 15:55 To: Lucene Users List Subject: Search Performance What is single handedly the best way to improve search performance? I have an index in the 2G range stored on the local file system of the searcher. Under a load test of 5 simultaneous users my average search time is ~4700 ms. Under a load test of 10 simultaneous users my average search time is ~10000 ms. I have given the JVM 2G of memory and am a using a dual 3GHz Zeons. Any ideas?
