FYI: getting the data from the xml returned by stats.jsp is definitely
faster in the case where you really want all docs.
if you want the total number from some other query however, don't
"count"
them yourself in the client ... use <result numFound="XXX">
for my current use-case I gonna use the numFound property because I
can just use the solrj client for this, and don't have to add another
http-fetching & xmlparsing method.
I overlooked the numFound property up to now but good to know.
