Hi, I did a prototype using ZSL using a database of news articles 40,000. I had a bit of a mixed experience....
Indexing was fine took a while but nothing unexpected. Searching using simple queries was ok I think its was something like 0.8 - 2 seconds per search Searching using ranges failed sometimes and was slow (probably my config though). Memory usage was a worry as searches seemed to use a lot, I cant remember the figures though. Obviously my prototype was very quick and dirty and in no way is a benchmark of ZSL, however I did decide to use another search solution over ZSL based on this.
