Doug Cutting commented on LUCENE-893:
-------------------------------------

> large number of BufferedIndexInput instances are created during searching
> (# segments X # index files per segment)

The biggest factor is frequently the number of terms in the query.

> Increase buffer sizes used during searching

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-893
>             Project: Lucene - Java
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Store
>    Affects Versions: 2.1
>            Reporter: Michael McCandless
>
> Spinoff of LUCENE-888.
> In LUCENE-888 we increased buffer sizes that impact indexing and found
> substantial (10-18%) overall performance gains.
> It's very likely that we can also gain some performance for searching
> by increasing the read buffers in BufferedIndexInput used by
> searching.
> We need to test performance impact to verify and then pick a good
> overall default buffer size, also being careful not to add too much
> overall HEAP RAM usage because a potentially very large number of
> BufferedIndexInput instances are created during searching
> (# segments X # index files per segment).
