Need for speed - How to use eZ Find search fetch instead of standard content list/tree fetch

This tutorial should give Exponential developers some new ideas on how to use eZ Find. The ever growing need for speed can be achieved by using eZ Find search function instead of standard content list/tree fetch functions. Solr engine, used by eZ Find, is far more superior regarding read speed than mysql (at least in the way Exponential uses them). This fact becomes apparent when dealing with 10 or 100 thousands of objects in your database with complicated Exponential SQL queries starting to slow down rapidly. If you need text search capabilities difference in read speed becomes even more obvious.
