> In [1] a {{CommonTermsQuery}} is used in order to perform a query with lots 
> of (duplicate) terms. Using a max term frequency cutoff of 0.999 for low 
> frequency terms, the query, although big, finishes in around 2-300ms with 
> Lucene 7.6.0. 
> However, when upgrading the code to Lucene 8.x, the query runs in 2-3s 
> instead [2].
> After digging a bit into it it seems that the regression in speed comes from 
> the fact that top-k scoring introduced by default in version 8 is causing 
> that, not sure "where" exactly in the code though.
> When switching back to complete hit scoring [3], the speed goes back to the 
> initial 2-300ms also in Lucene 8.3.x.
> It'd be nice to understand the reason why this is happening and if it is only 
> concerning {{CommonTermsQuery}} or affecting {{BooleanQuery}} as well.
> If this is a case that depends on the data and application involved (Anserini 
> in this case), the application should handle it, otherwise if it is a 
> regression/bug in Lucene it'd be nice to fix it.
