Solr 1.4.. but no fastvectorhighlighter

Solr 1.4 has been released. OK. its old news. Exactly one month old actually.
However… the release doesn’t include Lucene’s FastVectorHighlighter.
I ended up writing my own simple plumbing code to fillin the gap for now.
My own informal testing showed a 40-60% decrease in highlighting times for largish (1MB+ in size) documents. Definitely impressive.

A decrease or increase? of what? of FVH vs. the old H?
@John: highlighting time with FastVectorHighlighter was 40-60% that of the Solr Highlighter.
