A few options:
* Use POST (except you won't see the params in the log files)

Or, possibly a lot of your query params can be put into
solrconfig.xml, and you send over just what changed. You can do some
tricks with param substitution to streamline this stuff in some
cases. Some examples of what you're sending over would help us see
where some improvements could be made.
