Hi David. 3 million is a good size. I would say it is a 'medium' but it really depends on a lot of factors, and what exactly you are indexing. as a rule of thumb if you can fit the index in memory you'll be fine. It also depends on how much of a long tail you have, how often you update the index (each commit clears the caches) and how complex your queries are. I've found the number of commits plays a bigger part than the physical size.
You should get a full size index up and benchmark it, in normal operation to be sure. you can also install Solr in 'distributed' mode, which lets you scale it out further.
