Try this in on the commandline of the Solr server:

time curl 
"http://localhost:YYY/solr/dovecot/select?q=maynez&defType=edismax&qf=body+to+subject+cc+from"

Where YYY is the port Solr is listening on.

In the response, QTime is how long it took for Solr to do the search.? 
This does not include time for the result set to be gathered or the time 
to transfer the response over the network, which is where the "time" 
part of that comes in.? I see this doing a similar query on my Solr:

real??? 0m0.026s
user??? 0m0.011s
sys???? 0m0.010s

QTime for that request was 1 millisecond -- so it took 25 milliseconds 
for the stuff that is not counted in QTime.

You could do the query remotely by changing "localhost" to the
hostname
or IP address of the Solr server.

OK I had to modify the query path slightly to get it to work with my 
core to:

time curl 
http://localhost:8983/solr/dondley/select?q=maynez&defType=edismax&qf=body+to+subjec:t+ccfrom

But it didn't return any results:

Results:


   "responseHeader":{
     "status":0,
     "QTime":7,
     "params":{
       "q":"maynez"}},
  
"response":{"numFound":0,"start":0,"numFoundExact":true,"docs":[]
   }}

real    0m0.018s
user    0m0.004s
sys     0m0.006s

I only have emails for this person in a subfolder of my main Inbox 
folder so maybe it's only searching the top level folder?

 From remote host, I got similar numbers (no results):

real    0m0.017s
user    0m0.009s
sys     0m0.002s
