If you use Solr 4.x and SolrCloud there is no master-slave architecture that has been before. You can change autoSoftCommit time, autoCommit time at solrconfig.xml. Also you can consider using commitWithin, it is explained here: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/UpdateXmlMessages Beside that options if you add new Solr Nodes into your SolrCloud they will be added as a replica for shards as a round robin process. When you add new replicas your search performance will increase as excepted.
