Lucene has a "cold start time" depending how big is your index, I think that you should make some searches (50 for example) for warming all the internal caches.
As you are searching just for an exact match that doesn't return much results, the throughput should be higher. However, the test that you are making is not very representative, because you are using Lucene like a giant hashtable, without knowing what are going to be the usual queries and the average hit number, it's difficult to guess any optimization suggestion.
