And what about updating a staging area with production files and database, running the re-index on staging, and then move the solr index file over to production?
Thanks Robin

Tuning helps yes, and also using a staging index helps (you can simply copy over the index files). For more intensive sites with lots of search traffic, a master slave config for Solr may be an even better alternative.
But again, even when re-indexing with a tuned eZ Find/Solr, its still the eZ Publish side that is slow
