Performance

v0.2 and above of this package will have wt=csv as the default. This should give significant performance improvement over the previous default of wt=json, which pulled down json, parsed to an R list, then to a data.frame. With wt=csv, we pull down csv, and read that in directly to a data.frame.

The http library we use, crul, sets gzip compression header by default. As long as compression is used server side, you're good to go on compression, which should be a good peformance boost. See https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrPerformanceFactors#Query_Response_Compression for notes on how to enable compression.

There are other notes about Solr performance at https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrPerformanceFactors that can be used server side/in your Solr config, but aren't things to tune here in this R client.

Let us know if there's any further performance improvements we can make.
