Yonik,
I understand that the network can be a bottle-neck but I am pretty sure that
it is not. I am operating on a 100 MBPS intranet....... How do I ensure that
stored fields are cached by the OS ? Only the Solr caches within the JVM are
under my control...... The result set has around 10K documents of which I am
retrieving only 10......I am displaying a max of only 3 fields per document
in my result set. Can the reading time for these stored fields be so long ?
I have totally around 1 million documents in my index........ Any thoughts
on why the FacetComponent does not take any time while the QueryComponent
takes around 2.4s. I am doing a faceted and keyword query ie I have both 'q'
and 'fq' params in my query.... Thank you for your response.

Regards
Rahul
