solrj is (in my opinion) primarily as a convenience client for going through the web service. If you mean using solrj locally, I would guess that giving the CSV handler a local file (or perhaps even streaming remotely) might be a tad faster. If done correctly, the differences can be small enough that architectural decisions shouldn't be based on those differences. -Yonik
