... by keeping your schema lean and clean, only with what YOU need in it.
Granted, I'd personally keep all the built-in Solr primitive field types
defined even if I didn't use them, but there aren't very many and don't really
clutter things up.
Defined fields should ONLY be what you need for your application, and generally
that should be a tractable (and necessary) reasonably sized set.
