When you say "omitnorms=true"  for any fields it means SOLR will  not
store norms . AFAIK , if you do not store these norms then your index size
would be smaller and will take less memory  . You could safely omit these
norms for smaller fields .
i.e your indexing time is more.

 So if you  do not store norms you save the memory

Norms are used  to boosts and field length normalization during indexing
time so that short document has higher score

Turning the norms on/off may depend on your indexing size and
implementations

I hope this helps ..

thanks
