Hello,

We have been testing Mahout in a few different configurations and it seems
to take a significant amount of time (several minutes to over an hour) for
small document sets (3,000 documents and 7,000 documents). Is this type of
performance normal?

Thanks,
Samir

Phases in clustering
------------------------------
   1) Preprocessing the data
   2) Creating TF-IDF vectors
   3) Getting centroids(Canopy)
   4) Build Clusters (K-means/LDA)
   5) Results extraction
