With the help of Drunken Monkey and many others we've come up with an Alpha 3 of the ApacheSolr module. In addition to lots of bugfixes and a performance improvement, there is a new feature: you can set the number of facets per block. Check it out:

Quick question
Is there an easy way to do indexing of nodes without the use of Drupal cron.php?
I did some fast googling but couldn't find much.
We are using Sphinx as search back end for some of our Drupal sites. With 100-150.000 updates a day fast indexing is a must. Sphinx is so fast that we just reindex the entire search table every night. Doing this from cron.php seems close to impossible. Our solution is a Python script which runs from Linux cron to update our search tables with searchable node data.

This is a problem
The Solr application could handle that type of indexing load without question. The bottleneck in the ApacheSolr module implementation is Drupal's sluggishness in building nodes. I would recommend a custom script for this, one that does db queries directly and only gets exactly the information you know you need in the index. Sorry =(
