Having played with merge parameters and various index parameters, it seems possible to change the I/O usage at the cost of the number of index files. However, it does appear that this version of lucene is using more CPU. Is there any reason for this ? is it normal ? We can push a large amount of documents through the indexer and it seams to work admirably although I would be happier if the load average came down.
Any lucene devs out there who could shed some light on this behaviour ?

The i/o wait appears about the same on both versions. Can anyone suggest why this should be so or is the newer lucene version just more CPU hungry? If not, any tuning suggestions to reduce CPU usage would be gratefully received ! Thanks Clive
