There are a lot of optimizations to make things fast for the common case - and setting a really high limit makes some of those ineffective. Hopefully you don't really need to return the top 5000 cities? What version of Solr is this? What faceting method is used? Is this a multi-valued field? How many unique values are in the city field? How many docs in the index? -Yonik http://lucenerevolution.org Lucene/Solr Conference, Boston Oct 7-8 > FAST - 16ms > facet.field=city > f.city.facet.limit=5000 > f.city.facet.sort=lex > > FAST - 20 ms > facet.field=city > f.city.facet.limit=50 > f.city.facet.sort=count > > SLOW - over 1 second > facet.field=city > f.city.facet.limit=5000 > f.city.facet.sort=count > > Regards > ericz >
