Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Let's say we have posting trees for word A and word B.
We are looking for a document that contains both.
We will read through all posting tree of A, but only through some segments of B.
If we will not find anything in B, we have to lock only segments where we actually were looking, not all the posting
treeof B. 

BTW I do not think that we lock ranges. We lock possibility of appearance of tuples that we might find. Ranges are
shortcutsfor places where we were looking.. That's how I understand, chances are I'm missing something. 

Best regards, Andrey Borodin.
