To follow up. I was surprised to find that from the experiment of indexing 4k documents to local disk (Dell PE with onboard RAID with 256MB cache). I got the following data from my profile:
70 % time was spent in inverting the document 30 % in merge Ok that part isnt surprising. However only about 1% of 30% of the merge was spent in the OS.flush call (not very IO bound at all with this controller). And almost all of the invert was in the StandardAnalyzer pegged in the javacc generated code. The profile was based upon duration and not cpu. The profiler was JProbe. I was using a lower case analyzer and this was a slightly hacked lucene-1.4.3 source code line that I swapped out some of the synchronized data structures (hashtable ->hashmap, Vector->ArrayList). <<ChRiS>> --- Chris Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I found with a fast RAID controller that I can easily be CPU bound, some of > the > io is related to latency.
