What kind of search response time are you setting with solr full text search?

I did some experimenting. I noticed that if the word I'm searching on is 
fairly rare, results will pop up quickly, like in around 3 to 5 seconds. 
Words that don't exist at all in any email returns nothing almost 
instantly.

But words that appear in several hundred emails are the ones that are 
take a much longer time.

Not sure if this just might be a slow email client or due to Dovecot 
itself or if maybe 1 GB of ram isn't enough and my machine is 
underpowered.
