The second query excludes documents matched by [* TO X], while the first
query matches all documents.
Relative performance will depend on relative match count and the sort time
on the matched documents. Sorting will likely be the dominant factor - for
equal number of documents. So, it depends on whether starting with X
excludes or includes the majority of documents, relative to whatever
row_count might be.
Generally, you should only sort a small number of documents/results.
Or, consider DocValues since they are designed for sorting.

What is the difference between:
q=*:*&rows=row_count&sort=id asc
and
q={X TO *}&rows=row_count&sort=id asc
Does the first one trys to get all the documents but cut the result or they
are same or...? What happens at underlying process of Solr for that two
queries?
