Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-2840:
--------------------------------------------

bq. Using fewer threads per-search than total available is a precaution against 
biggie searches blocking fast ones.

But doesn't that mean that an app w/ rare queries but each query is massive 
fails to use all available concurrency?

> We should discuss about how many threads should be spawned. If you have an 
> index with many segments, even small ones, I think only the larger segments 
> should be separate threads, all others should be handled sequentially. So 
> maybe add a maxThreads cound, then sort the IndexReaders by maxDoc and then 
> only spawn maxThreads-1 threads for the bigger readers and then one 
> additional thread for the rest?
