While the Java-based Lucene search server is giving pretty good
performance on search results compiled with GCJ, the index builder
performs pretty slowly: 3-10x slower than the same code running under
Sun's JDK.
Since I've gotten relatively good performance out of the C# version
running under Mono, I've gone ahead and imported that into CVS and
started bringing it up to date, and plan to use it at least for the
indexing.
It's in the 'mwsearch' module in CVS, should anyone feel like taking a look.
