> TermScorer aggressively caches the doc and freq of 32 documents at a time for 
> each term scored.  When querying for a lot of terms, this causes a lot of 
> garbage to be created that's unnecessary.  The SegmentTermDocs from which it 
> retrieves its information doesn't have any optimizations for bulk loading, 
> and it's unnecessary.
> In addition, it has a SCORE_CACHE, that's of limited benefit.  It's caching 
> the result of a sqrt that should be placed in DefaultSimilarity, and if 
> you're only scoring a few documents that contain those terms, there's no need 
> to precalculate the SQRT, especially on modern VMs.
> Enclosed is a patch that replaces TermScorer with a version that does not 
> cache the docs or feqs.  In the case of a lot of queries, that saves 196 
> bytes/term, the unnecessary disk IO, and extra SQRTs which adds up.
