The performance gain is not significant. I am able to shave of about 4 % of an algorithm which takes 13 % of the total run time. This results in a gain of about 0.5 % in my program, which is a prototype and not a real application. I just focused on 'readVInt()' because my profiler indicated it was a 'hot spot'. I thought my isolated test showed what the optimal algorithm was no matter what the distribution of the vints is. Whether the Lucene team decides to change the current algorithm to something else or not, it's fine with me.
