can you clarify what you mean by this -- are you still seeing that TimeLimitedCollector is the culprit in your heap analysis (even with the patches) or are you still getting problems with PermGen running out, but it's caused by other classes and TimeLimitedCollector is no longer the culprit? (and if so: which other classes) FYI: LUCENE-2822 is realted to LUCENE-2237 and has attracted some more attention/comments (i suspect largely because it was filed as a bug instead of an improvement) -Hoss
