Juanjo,

Using the Taste components, it will be almost impossible to get really high
performance.  For that, using the itemsimilarity program to feed a search
index is the best alternative.

The scala version of the itemsimilarity program is available in Scala and
could be called fairly easily as a library.  The older map-reduce version
is not easily used as a library.
