It's good in results, but too aggressive in updating live results -- the effect is laggy on systems I use, e.g., when searching HN.

That's the fault of the implementation client-side. You shouldn't fire off an ajax request on every key stroke but leave a certain timeout zone after keys are pressed to detect "yeah this guy has finish typing, let's search now".
