// Note: for this example on a default Solr index (with a tiny index) running on localhost the performance gain is
// minimal to none, sometimes even slightly slower!
// In a realworld scenario with network latency, a bigger dataset, more complex queries or multiple solr instances the
// performance gain is much more.
