Ah. I just did a search on "book" and assumed it would return most of your results. 550K records is much more impressive.
I don't know if the LoC records being available was public knowledge or not. I just stumbled upon them a month or so ago by searching for MARC records at archive.org:
http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=marc%20records
Oh, and Erik Hatcher is of course right that Solr performance corresponds to number of facet values, not # of records, though the number of possible facet values is strongly correlated with number of records indexed in the various datasets I've tried. Well, at least the number of author facets -- which has by far the most number of possible values of all the stuff I've tried faceting on -- who knew there were so many authors in the world?

We currently have about 550,000 records loaded. I was hoping to try it out with a larger dataset. I didn't know the LOC records were available. I guess I have been in a hole the past few months.
I have been playing around with your system a bit to see the performance of a large dataset. Doesn't seem too bad with the amount of records you have loaded.
Thanks!
