Yesterday I released version 0.0.6 of the experimental highlighter  
Elasticsearch plugin. If anyone other then me is using it you should  
upgrade.

Fixed a bug where it'd fail if you found more then 8 distinct terms.  
Fixed caching of the query interpretation. In the presence of fuzzy and  
wildcard queries this should speed things up a ton.  
Sped up many types of queries by using an automaton to detect terms rather  
then rewriting them against the terms dictionary. This cuts highlighting  
time for those queries on decently large indexes pretty substantially. I  
don't really have a clear figure how much because it depends on the index  
and the queries.

You can play with it on a testing site if you'd like:
