It is not something we have measured as that index is fast enough (which in this context means that we're practically always waiting for the result from an external service that is issued in parallel with the call to our Solr server). Technically it's not different from searching across other fields defined in the eDismax setup, so I guess it boils down to "how many fields can you afford to search across?", where our organization's default answer is "as many as we need to get quality matches. Make it work Toke, chop chop". On a more serious note, it is not something I would worry about unless we're talking some special high-performance setup with a budget for tuning: Matching terms and joining filters is core Solr (Lucene really) functionality. Plain query & filter-matching time tend to be dwarfed by aggregations (grouping, faceting, stats). - Toke Eskildsen
