We're running Solr to provide search services to a Drupal 6 installation. The site is very low traffic (35 uniques a day) and search doesn't get used very often. I was thinking that I could get away with running it on the Jetty that comes with Solr. It's just one less thing that has to be looked after (the Tomcat).
As for the APR, yes, I installed it using yum: as in "yum install apr.x86_64" It was fairly painless, just a lot of reading. If your installation is going to be running on a small cluster or something, then that's a whole different scenario from what I had to deal with.
