OK, this is where you will become CPU bound (faceting on 30 fields). But if you will have any search traffic at all, you are better off going with non-distributed search on a single box over distributed on a single box. Distributed search needs to do more work than non-distributed for faceting also (in the form of over-requesting and facet refinement requests). If you are interested in why this extra work needs to be done, search form "refinement" in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-303 -Yonik
