Not that I know of. IIUC correctly it's fairly difficult to "fix"
because of 16 bit vs 32 bit issues. But I may have misunderstood.

I'm also reasonably skeptical about being able to improve performance
significantly of Plucene as a whole without completely smashing the goal
of compatability with Lucene index files.

Yes.

Other than recent additions or changes within Lucene that haven't yet
been ported, I don't believe so. It was a direct port, so should perform
identically.
