I noticed that too when I played with it, for large query results DocSet
intersections are de-facto standard; but when "faceting" started CNET had
only 400,000 documents :) 
Nowadays even 2-3 seconds response time is bad... may be storing all users'
queries and executing some tasks on background (storing "facets" in a
database similar to heavy warehouse, predicting facet counts depending on
query terms and domain analysis, and etc)?

One size does not fit all.  The enum method is not outdated or
deprecated, and still works better in some scenarios.  The new
faceting code is actually a hybrid that goes back to DocSet
intersections when it's more efficient.
