As far as our NOC guys know the machines are approximately the same, aside from the OS. The Leopard machine is running the default 1.5 JVM.
And it's possible that some other application or config issues is to blame. Nobody's "blaming" the OS or Lucene, we're just asking around. Searches on Google haven't turned up any reports, so I'm suspecting the issue lies elsewhere. Also I've run on Leopard for months without any performance issues, though I really don't tax anything on my workstation. -- Mark Bennett / New Idea Engineering, Inc. / mbenn...@ideaeng.com Direct: 408-733-0387 / Main: 866-IDEA-ENG / Cell: 408-829-6513
