facet performance when number of values is large

I have a facet field whose values are created by users. So potentially there could be a very large number of values. is that going to be a problem performance-wise?

A few more questions to help me understand how facet works:
- after the filter cache warmed up, will the (if any) performance problems caused by large number of facet values go away?
I thought that would be the case but according to the benchmark here: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/HierarchicalFaceting
SOLR-64 still had very poor performance even after the filter caches are warmed 

- In the wiki it was stated that facet.method=fc is excellent for situations where the number of indexed values for the field is high. Would that be the solution?
