You missed the point. They have different intents, so speed is irrelevant.

<<<and using lucene. my job is to give boost to a particular
set of pages>>>

In which case you want to do index-time boosting.

So don't do anything until you understand the difference <G>...

>From the Hossman:

'...Index time field boosts are a way to express things like "this documents
title is worth twice as much as the title of most documents". Query time
boosts are a way to express "I care about matches on this clause of my query
twice as much as I do about matches to other clauses of my query.'


So, I think you want to think about index time boosts.....
