Vik did a very nice job.

One thing the experiment did not mention is that Lucene handles incremental updates, whereas many of the other "competitors" do not. So the indexing performance comparison is not really fair.

I imagine many of you already saw this -- Lucene does pretty well in
this "shootout".
The only area it tended to lag, it seems, is memory usage and speed in
some cases.
