 === Performance Testing ===
+They ran tests with the default 1024 solr options
+Got a high hit ratio of .98
+This will probably be the recommended setting
+He ran a test with their larger index and (what sounded like) a 512 solr cache
+He wants to do another week or two of testing and wants us to test on the Villanova index.
+If we get a hit ratio in the .8-.9 range, they'll be very happy.
