1. empirical tests with an index of nearly 75,000 docs (I am attaching the test source)
Only certain (.txt?) attachments are allowed to come through on the mailing list.

In some other way - sorted by some column (asc or desc - doesn't matter)
Using IndexSearcher(query, sort)?

I'm afraid this is not sufficient;
Either I am doing something wrong,
or it is not that simple:
following is a log from my test session;
It appears that IndexSearcher.search(...) finishes rather fast
compared to the time it takes to fetch the last document from the Hits object.
I assume you are only accessing the documents you wish to display rather than all of them up to where you need. Also keep in mind that accessing a Document is when the document is pulled from the index. If you have a large amount of data in a document it will take a corresponding amount of time to load it. You may need to restructure what you store in a document to reduce the load times. Or perhaps you need to investigate the (is it in the codebase already?) patch to load fields lazily upon demand instead.
