In addition to the comments already made, I recently recently found these changes to be useful:
1) Swapping out Sun 1.4.2_05 JVM for BEA's JRockit JVM halved my query times. (In both cases did not tweak any default JVM settings other than -Xmx to ensure adequate memory allocation). 2) My app uses long queries, some of which include very common terms. Using the "MoreLikeThis" query to drop common terms drastically improved performance. If your "killer queries" are long ones you could spot them and service them with a MoreLikeThis or simply limit the number of allowed terms in the query string.
