Thanks for your comment. Yes, it would be simple if it was just 3 queries, I really have about 50-60 I'd like to consolidate as a single request. I'm simply getting a count of records for each query, and right now, it takes about 40mS for each request as a single query, but multiplied by about 50 or 60, brings me up into the 1.5/2.0 second response time (to handle them all)
I've got to believe that it would be much more efficient for the search engine to know about all of these things that I want in one request and generate a multi-response set. I'm kind of surprised that this is not a more commonly requested capability. If anyone has any more suggestions, I'd appreciate hearing them.

Writing your own handler which prints data in a custom format means that you can no longer use existing solr clients for java/ruby/python etc. -- Regards, Shalin Shekhar Mangar.
