Thank you! I suspect that maybe my box was too small. I'm upgrading my machines to more CPU & RAM and let's see how it goes from there.
Would limiting the number of returned fields to a smaller value would make any improvement? The behaviour I noticed was that: at start=o&rows=10 avg qtime after 200queris was about 15ms at start=o&rows=20 avg qtime after 200queris was about 20ms at start=o&rows=30 avg qtime after 200queris was about 250ms and slowly increasing. at start=o&rows=50 avg qtime after 200queris was about 1400ms and increasing really fast. Tests were made using SolrMeter, using a set of keywords, each request having specified the start=0&rows=N (N being one of the values above). So, no deep paging, always requesting first N results, sorted by score. I will try again this scenario on the bigger boxes, and come back. ----- Thanks, Michael -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Performance-of-rows-and-start-parameters-tp4099194p4099370.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
