Mike Klaas commented on LUCENE-584:
-----------------------------------
Instead of discarding the first run, the approach I usually take is to run 3-4
times and pick the minimum. You can then run several of these "sets" and
average over the minimum of each. GC is still an issues, though. It is hard
to get around when it is a mark&sweep collector (reference counting is much
friendlier in this regard)

> It would be useful if the method =Filter.bits()= returned an abstract
> interface, instead of =java.util.BitSet=.
> Use case: there is a very large index, and, depending on the user's
> privileges, only a small portion of the index is actually visible.
> Sparsely populated =java.util.BitSet=s are not efficient and waste lots of
> memory. It would be desirable to have an alternative BitSet implementation
> with smaller memory footprint.
> Though it _is_ possibly to derive classes from =java.util.BitSet=, it was
> obviously not designed for that purpose.
> That's why I propose to use an interface instead. The default implementation
> could still delegate to =java.util.BitSet=.
