Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-2324:
--------------------------------------------

The slowdown could have been due to the merge sort by docID that we do today on 
flush.

Ie, if a given term X occurrs in 6 DWPTs (today) then we merge-sort the docIDs 
from the postings of that term, which is costly.  (The "normal" merge that will 
merge these DWPTs after this issue lands just append by docIDs).

So maybe after this lands we'll see only faster performance the larger the RAM 
buffer :)  That would be nice!

> I'm copying here Mike's summary he posted on 2293:
> Change the approach for how we buffer in RAM to a more isolated
> approach, whereby IW has N fully independent RAM segments
> in-process and when a doc needs to be indexed it's added to one of
> them. Each segment would also write its own doc stores and
> "normal" segment merging (not the inefficient merge we now do on
> flush) would merge them. This should be a good simplification in
> the chain (eg maybe we can remove the *PerThread classes). The
> segments can flush independently, letting us make much better
> concurrent use of IO & CPU.
