Very much so... fdiv commonly takes 20 to 40 clock cycles, depending on precision. fmul commonly takes 3 clock cycles. Same thing holds with integer multiplication and division. If one doesn't want normalized scores, they should use the expert level search routines that return TopDocs or TopFieldDocs. -Yonik --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
