Per segment over many segments is actually a bit faster for none sort cases and many sort cases -but an optimized index will still be fastest - the speed benifit of many segments comes when reopening - so say for realtime search - in that case you may want to sac the opt perf for a segment tail that is faster on update turnaround time. But for straight search speed - optimized is still the the way to go.

Hey there,
Until now when using Lucene 2.4 I was always optimizing my index using
compound file after updating it. I was doing that because if not I could
feel a lot performance loss in search responses.
Now in Lucene 2.9 there are per segment readers and I have read something about it performes better and maybe there's no need to optimze always the
index.
For FieldCache usage I know in Lucene 2.9 due to the per segment readers the seed at loading time as imporved a lot if the index is not optimized. But if
it is optimized the loading time is the same.
So, is that true that with per segment reders search request perform almost
as good as an optimized index? Can anyone point me where to get more
information about the Lucene 2.9 per segments reader?
Thanks in advance
