	abstract =	{As human factor studies over the last thirty years have
	shown, response time is a very important factor for the usability of an
	interactive system, especially on the world wide web. In particular,
	response times of under one second are often specified as a usability
	requirement \cite{Nie97}.  This paper compares several methods for
	improving the evaluation time in a content-based image retrieval system
	(CBIRS) which uses inverted file technology.  The use of the inverted
	file technology facilitates search pruning in a variety of ways, as is
	shown in this paper. For large databases ($> 2000$ images) and a high
	number of possible features ($> 80000$), efficient and fast access is
	necessary to allow interactive querying and browsing. Parallel access
	to the inverted file can reduce the response time. This parallel access
	is very easy to implement with little communication overhead, and thus
	scales well. Other search pruning methods, similar to methods used in
	information retrieval, can also reduce the response time significantly
	without reducing the performance of the system.  The performance of the
	system is evaluated using precision vs. recall graphs, which are an
	established evaluation method in information retrieval. A  user survey
	was carried out in order to obtain relevance judgments for the queries
	reported in this work.},
