Can you reduce the number of docs and do paging (start=0,rows=50....start=50,rows=50...etc)? That might help a little. This is also a factor of how much data each doc has, whether you have any fields that are compressed, etc.
Also, make sure you have enough memory set aside for your cache (not only your OS settings, but in SolrConfig.xml). http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrCaching#filterCache see FilterCache And you may want to look at the AutoWarm capabilities to preload your filterCache with documents by the field 'created'. The combined effect of Autowarming and a larger cache should make your queries faster. Run some tests and look at the QTime in your results. If that time is much faster than the times you are seeing then you are probably looking at I/O constraints or some other external issue. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/solr-speed-issues-tp2254823p2255992.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
