Speeding up SOLR search

Question

The SOLR search response is extremely slow using SOLR Apache Lucene 3.6.

Some performance enhancement techniques I'm experimenting with are

• SOLR Pagination

• mergeFactor currently set to 10 in solrConfig.xml

• SOLR Facet queries

• filterCache in solrconfig.xml set to size 512 and using solr.FastLRUCache and autowarm = 0;

• queryResultCache in solfconfig.xml set to size 512 with autowarmCount=0

• newSearcher, firstSearcher, and useColdSearcher

• single segment index for 100,000 documents

• single machine SOLR server for 100,000 documents

How can I optimize items 1-7 to increase SOLR search response for a term/query? Are there any other optimization parameters to consider not mentioned above?
