What version of Solr? Try a nightly build if you're at Solr 1.3 or
earlier and you'll be amazed at the difference.

And most definitely we will be enabling them. However, the primary
idea of
this exercise is to verify if limiting the number of facets will
actually
improve the performance.
An update on this. I did verify and looks like although I set
indexed=false
for most of the properties, I have not blocked them from
participating in
the query. I now enabled only 7 properties for faceting. Now at any
given
time only a maximum of 7 facets will participate in the query.
Performance
has now improved from an erstwhile 60 seconds to around 10 seconds.
This really helped. Thanks a lot !

Erik,
I understand that caching is going to improve performance. Infact
we did a
PSR run with caches enabled and we got awesome results. But these
wouldn't
be really representative because the PSR scripts will be doing the
same
searches again and again. These would be cached and there would be
virtually
no evictions. This is not a practical case.
I don't understand how this is not practical. Why wouldn't having
the
caches warmed and filled with the facets be practical for your needs?
