K2 requires a LOT more work to setup each connection than normal Verity, but the speed difference is astounding If you're setting it up, first you have to activate it (which takes some work on the server), then each collection needs to be connected to the K2 server (more work on the server itself) Once they're connected though, it's well worth it Remember K2 comes with CF

Another benefit is that you can set up a single K2 instance and have other servers point to it.  This allows you to set up your Verity searching in a distributed way.
