I used pagination for a while till found this...
I have filtered query ID:[* TO *] returning 20 millions results (no faceting), and pagination always seemed to be fast. However, fast only with low values for start=12345. Queries like start=28838540 take 40-60 seconds, and even cause OutOfMemoryException. I use highlight, faceting on nontokenized "Country" field, standard handler. It even seems to be a bug...
