And if possible, it would be very interesting to see results using - d64 and -d32. And different platforms.

I only have easy access to one machine running Java: my G4 1.67 MHz laptop, running Mac OS X 10.4.5. I agree that it would be very interesting to see results from other systems. If anyone else wants to run these, you can grab the source from my subversion repository:

svn co http://www.rectangular.com/svn/kinosearch/trunk/t/ benchmarks benchmarks

You'll need the Reuters corpus (location specified in benchmarks/ README.txt). You'll also need Perl to run the script which preprocesses the Reuters corpus.

If you're interested in running the benchmarks for KinoSearch, I recommend using the CPAN shell to install it, as it has a few dependencies and it's easier to let CPAN handle them. You'll need a C compiler, as KinoSearch is not pure Perl. The latest official release, 0.08, is available with the usual...

    cpan> install KinoSearch

... which will find the tarball <CREAMYG/KinoSearch-0.08.tar.gz>. However, for my tests, I'm using a developer's release, 0.09_03, which is at least twice as fast as 0.08. 0.9 is also the first version of KinoSearch with incremental indexing enabled. To get 0.09_03 from CPAN, type...

    cpan> install CREAMYG/KinoSearch-0.09_03.tar.gz

... at the CPAN shell prompt.

If 0.09_03 hasn't made it your CPAN mirror yet, you can also get it from <http://www.rectangular.com/kinosearch>.
