Apoorva, I was facing same problem few days back when i started useing *CloudSolrServer*, it decreased my latency by almost 5 times than HttpSolrServer ...... below are few things i did for performance improvement.
+ Start using ConcurrentUpdateSolrServer + LB also choking the n/w in high trafficking. + Send requests to direct target server IP. + Solr is smart enough to distribute req to other servers in cloud.

We're currently channeling all our requests via haproxy but want to get rid of management hassles as well as additional network call but saw a significant degradation in latency on switching to CloudSolrServer. Please suggest. -- Thanks & Regards, Apoorva
