Only some of the pending changes may be on disk - a solr level commit involves closing the IndexWriter which flushes everything to disk, and then a new IndexReader is opened to read those changes. This will be improved in future versions such that an IndexReader can be opened *before* all of the changes have been flushed to disk (work on near-real-time indexing/searching in Lucene is progressing). -Yonik http://www.lucidimagination.com
