Very anecdotally: Some months back, I played around with ZSL, importing a reasonably large database of books -- some eight million rows, with title, author, publisher, publication date, and so on. The performance was lackluster, to say the least. Later, I recreated the same indices in Solr, which cut down search times from several seconds to fractions of a second.
