I haven't been experiencing such speed problems with other search engines, so I'm sure its the way Nutch searches (Java?).

For more on Nutch, see this thread:

Nutch.org , Open Source Search Engine
[webmasterworld.com...]

At this point nutch is coded entirely in java...

Oh why did it have to be java? How many web applications have gone under because java is just too slow
