Are the lengths of your documents the same? If not, this could be affecting
your scoring.

You can run luke (http://code.google.com/p/luke/) , and look at the values
for fieldNorm. It's on the documents tab.

There's a little widget in Luke to set the value of norm - just display the dialog, it shows you the rounding error that this encoding causes (and what input values effectively come out the same, once encoded).
