Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-3892:
--------------------------------------------
bq. I had been doing some tests with the bulk version of PackedInts.get (which
uses the same methods that we use for BlockPacked) while working on LUCENE-4098
and it seemed that the bottleneck was more memory bandwidth than CPU (for large
arrays at least).
Ahh, interesting...
So I think we should test different acceptableOverheadRatios to find the best
... it could be it's 0!

> On the flex branch we explored a number of possible intblock
> encodings, but for whatever reason never brought them to completion.
> There are still a number of issues opened with patches in different
> states.
> Initial results (based on prototype) were excellent (see
> http://blog.mikemccandless.com/2010/08/lucene-performance-with-pfordelta-codec.html
> ).
> I think this would make a good GSoC project.
