I have trouble understanding J9's version strings ... but, is it really from 2008? You could be hitting a JVM bug; can you test upgrading?
I don't have much experience with Solr faceting on optimized vs unoptimized indices; maybe someone else can answer your question. Lucene's facet module (not yet exposed through Solr) performance shouldn't change much for optimized vs unoptimized indices.
