Chen, that does seem slow.... I'm not sure why.
1) was this the first search on the index? if so, try running some
other searches to warm things up first.
2) was the jvm in server mode? (start with -server)
3) shut down unlrelated things on the system so that there is more
memory available to the OS to cache the index files

Maybe... Lucene does rely on the OS caching often used parts of the
index, so this can differ the most between Windows and Linux. If you
have a Linux box lying around, trying it out quick to remove that
variable would be a good idea.
