Right. For us, load balancing is not a last resort but a fact of life. The smallest number of parallel servers is three, so that we have two running when one is down for scheduled maintenance or software update. Back to performance, check your cache hit ratios in the admin UI, then adjust the cache sizes. When your caches are the right size, Solr will be mostly CPU-bound, but quite fast. If Solr is not CPU-bound under a maximum load (in testing) it means it is using the disk too much. wunder -- Walter Underwood Search Guru, Netflix
