yes there is a new searcher opened each time a search is conducted,

This is because the index is updated every 5 mins or so, due to the incoming
feed of stories ..

When you say iteration, i take it you mean, search request, well for each
search that is conducted I create a new one .. search reader that is ..

you don't show where searcher is initialized, and you don't clarify how
you are timing your multiple iterations -- i'm going to guess that you are
opening a new searcher every iteration right?

sorting on a field requires pre-computing an array of information for that
field -- this is both time and space expensive, and is cached per
IndexReader/IndexSearcher -- so if you reuse the same searcher and time
multiple iterations you'll find that hte first iteration might be somewhat
slow, but the rest should be very fast.
