OK! found the issue. My command line mangled the URL when I edited the 
url. There is a stray ":" in the query string.

So I am now seeing a ton of results and the following query time:

real    0m0.118s
user    0m0.003s
sys     0m0.011s

So this looks really good and fast. So I think we can say with 
confidence solr is doing its job. So why is roundcube/dovecot taking so 
long to show the results?

Random guess... Buffering?
Whatever is sending to the browser isn't sending enough bytes to flush 
the buffer so the data is left in limbo until enough time goes by the 
buffer gets flushed anyways. Maybe a apache/nginx thing, php thing or 
browser thing. Remember its solr > dovecot > php > web server >
browser.
Tried other browsers?
