Thanks for the clarification. The behaviour I'm seeing is that OR queries are
almost *twice* as performant as AND queries, so that's probably down to my
specific setup/data. I'll try to investigate further.

In general, AND will perform better than OR (because of skipping in
the scorers). But if the number of documents matching the AND is
close to that matching the OR query, then skipping doesn't gain you
much and probably has a little more overhead.

Dear list,
during some performance experiments I have found that queries with ORed search
terms are significantly faster than queries with ANDed search terms, everything
else being equal.
Does anybody know whether this is the generally expected behaviour?
Thanks,
Lars
