many thanks again. this was a good tip. after switching from FSDirectory to NRTCachingDirectory queries run at double speed.

You want to use NoMP in case where you build an index in a batch job, then in the end before the index is "published" you run a forceMerge or maybeMerge (with a real MergePolicy). For online indexes, i.e. indexes that are being searched while they are updated, if you use NoMP you will accumulate many segments in the index. This means higher resources consumption overall: file handles, RAM, potentially disk space, and usually results in slower searches. You may want to tweak the default MP's settings though, to not kick off a merge unless there are a large number of segments in the index. E.g. the default MP merges segments when there are 10 at the same level (i.e. roughly the same size). You can increase that. Also, do you use NRTCachingDirectory? It's usually recommended for NRT, even with default MP, since the tiny segments are merged in-memory, and your NRT reopens don't result in flushing new segments to disk.
