What are the values of the start and rows parameters you are using? When you say the controller shard takes a long time, how long is it taking - 100ms, 1s, 10s...?

I am using legacy distributed method as setup. So I have one additional shard with no data. Queries would go to this shard and the shard would merge result from the rest of the 40 shards. From the log, I see that query time for each shard is almost instant, but the controller shard take a long time to merge the result. I tried to cache the results to controller shards like I do in each individual shard, but it wouldn't not cache, probably because the controller shard contains no documents. I can tell that merging result is the bottle neck here, but I couldn't find a way to fix it. Please let me know if you guys have any suggestion. Thanks in advance!
