I'm having a problem with the performance of lazily-loaded fields with lucene. The basic structure of the code is that I get a set of documents back from a query, then iterate through them, reading most fields to collect fragments. This is taking an excessively long amount of time- mostly in my call to getField on the document. Each such call takes milliseconds, meaning a query that even returns only a few dozen items takes me hundreds of milliseconds to process, which is causing problems elsewhere. So the question I have is if there is some way I can optimize the loading of fields? I am calling the doc function on the index search with a null FieldSelector, but this does not seem to reduce the cost of getting fields (indeed, it seems to slow down the whole query processing by a significant factor). Is there any help anyone can give me?
Thanks. Brian
