Yonik Seeley commented on LUCENE-1195:
--------------------------------------

There's higher level synchronization too (ensuring that two different threads 
don't generate the same cache entry at the same time), and I agree that should 
not be done in this case.

Just use Collections.synchronizedMap(), it will be the same speed, more 
readable, and can be easily replaced later anyway.

> Currently we have a bottleneck for multi-term queries: the dictionary lookup 
> is being done
> twice for each term. The first time in Similarity.idf(), where 
> searcher.docFreq() is called.
> The second time when the posting list is opened (TermDocs or TermPositions).
> The dictionary lookup is not cheap, that's why a significant performance 
> improvement is
> possible here if we avoid the second lookup. An easy way to do this is to add 
> a small LRU 
> cache to TermInfosReader. 
> I ran some performance experiments with an LRU cache size of 20, and an 
> mid-size index of
> 500,000 documents from wikipedia. Here are some test results:
> 50,000 AND queries with 3 terms each:
> old:                  152 secs
> new (with LRU cache): 112 secs (26% faster)
> 50,000 OR queries with 3 terms each:
> old:                  175 secs
> new (with LRU cache): 133 secs (24% faster)
> For bigger indexes this patch will probably have less impact, for smaller 
> once more.
> I will attach a patch soon.
