The facet refinement can be a lot heavier than the initial call. For some of our queries (with unpatched Solr), we observed that it took 10 times as long. Markus: You are hitting Solr in a way that scales very poorly. Maybe you can use export instead? https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Exporting+Result+Sets If you really need the faceting with full counts & everything, consider switching to a single-shard (and multiple replicas) setup as that removes the need for the refinement phase. - Toke Eskildsen, State and University Library, Denmark
