hi, I had an solr3.3 index of 200,000 documents, all text are stored and the total index size is 27gb. I used dismax query with over 10 qf and pf boosting field each, plus sorting on score and other 2 fields. It took quite a few seconds(5-8) for the first time query to return any result(no highlighting is invloved). (even slower for phrase query)
My question is, what is the bottle neck of the query speed? lucene query part? Scoring? or fill document cache with document content? Can anyone answer? Is there anyway of improving the first time query speed? thanks in advance, shen
