The Sphinx website mentions scaling but just throws numbers out there without mentioning scaling out. Assuming it is distributed you'd have to run benchmarks with your data and queries to really know how it'll perform against Riak Search for any given number of nodes. If it's not distributed then Riak search can outperform it with enough nodes, without question. The question then becomes how many nodes. I'd love to see some benchmarks on this sort of thing if anyone is up to it.
