Have you tried using RAMDirectory for in-memory storage of the index? There's even the possiblity to clone a persistent index into a RAM-based one for faster access. However I can't imagine you'll get a huge speed increase - I'd guess with a modern operating system even a persistent index will end up completely buffered in RAM after some usage. Jens -- webit!
