I don't recall how we decided to use it, but we are using 
http://code.google.com/p/compressedbitset/ and it seems to be pretty efficient 
in terms of memory.

SortedVIntList is compressed, OpenBitSet is not

Yes

I'm too looking for alternative implementations of compressed bitsets, 
so I'm too really interested in everybody experience: my primary concern 
at the moment is serializing bitsets to recover searcher warmup time

I've tried some and roughly tested them: my conclusion was that we 
(lucene users) already stand on the rolls royce of bitset implementations.
