it depends!
yes there is overhead to each core -- how much it matters will depend
entirely on your setup and typical usage pattern.
sorry this is not a particularly useful answer.
I think the choice of how many cores will come down to your domain
logic needs more then hardware. If you are able to put things into a
single index and get the performance you need, it will just be easier
to deal with.

I'm trying to see if anyone has any recommendations on the maximum
number of cores that should be used within Solr. Is there
significant overhead to each core? Should it be 10 or less, or is
100 or 1,000 cores acceptable.
Thanks,
