@Pascal: As I have already said the timing does not scale linearly
Secondly it the approx times which I have specified
@Frank:
I was talking about actual adding of annotation to CAS
Record refer to lets say in tags like these <a>.....</a>
and the document consist of such record
Annotation is done via this method
MyType annotation = new MyType(jCas);
annotation.setBegin(start);
annotation.setEnd(end);
annotation.addToIndexes();
This takes a lot of time which is not likeable.
