This is very interesting! I didn't even know about the clucene project, 
but now I'll definetely have to take a look! I was beginning to think 
about doing this myself, but if the code already exists - so much the 
better. gcj sounds great too.
Are these times for pure indexing, or is this a time for the program to 
run. If so, the extra 1 second could just be due to the VM startup 
time... The numbers would be much less impressive if that was the case. 
Also, if you have numbers for a larger dataset, please post them here. I 
am very interested in these results, and I think many others might be also.

Thanks.
Dmitry.
