Solr relies on the filter cache for faceting, and if it's not big enough you're going to get a near 0% hit rate. Check the statistics page and make sure there aren't any evictions after you do a query with facets. If there are, make the cache larger.
Yonik - thanks! I was too deep into other things to worry about the slowness of massive multiValued facets, mainly because I was going to use the mess of all those nasty values we have in typical library data to push back and have it cleaned up. But, I just adjusted my filter cache settings and my responses went from 2000+ ms to 85 ms! Now it takes longer to render the pie charts than it does to get the results back :)
