Great Scott (hah!) - please do report back, even if it just works fine and
you have no more questions, I'd like to know whether this really is
what you were after and actually works for you.
Note that the FieldCache is kinda "magic" - it's lazy (so the first query
will
be slow and you should fire one off just to warm it up after every time
you reload an IndexReader), and kinda leaky: the entries in the FieldCache
stick around until all references to the IndexReader they're keyed on
get garbage collected (there's a WeakHashMap in the background), so
don't accidentally hang onto references to those IndexReaders past
when needed.
