In a web context, Lucene is usually used to fetch the first 10 results (if 
the first page displays 10 results). If the users clicks "next page", the 
same search is re-executed, the first 10 hits are ignored and the next 10 
are display. This is because the search itself is often very fast but 
actually getting the results is slow because it requires one disk access 
per document. Maybe this would be a useful approach for Beagle, too. 
Fetching 100 results sounds too much unless they are really immediately 
displayed.
