We normally have no swapping at all on this server and since last night
(when Solr was deployed on the site) it's been going up.
Here is an extract of the top command output sorted by memory usage, does
each of the processes really take up 566M??? CU usage is low because we are
outside of peak time but during the day it's at 40% when it used to be just
20%:

Etc...
On the server we also have a website running using mod_perl, it's been
running for 1 year and up until now the CPU usage was peaking at 20% and
memory around 28% no swapping.

great. However it is taking up a lot of extra CPU and memory (CPU usage has
doubled and memory is swapping). Is there any documentation on performance
tuning? There seems to be a lot of useful info in the server output but I
don't understand it.
Swapping if it's constant isn't good... How much memory does this box
have, and what is the heap size of the JVM? Are there other things
running on this box?
Solr does warming of caches by default to make complex queries that
hit a new snapshot of the index fast. This takes up CPU in bursts,
but is normally nothing to worry about unless you have other apps
running on the same box that need CPU. Because of this warming, CPU
usage of a Solr collection isn't directly related to query traffic at
all times.
