> Currently windows defaults to SimpleFSDirectory, but this is a problem due to the synchronization.
> I have been benchmarking queries *sequentially* and was pretty surprised at how much faster
> MMapDirectory is, for example for cases that do many seeks.
> I think we should change the defaults for windows as such:
> if (WINDOWS and UNMAP_SUPPORTED and 64-bit)
>   use MMapDirectory
> else
>   use SimpleFSDirectory 
> I think we should just consider doing this for 4.0 only and see how it goes.
