I seem to say this a lot :), but, assuming your OS has a decent filesystem cache, try reducing your JVM heapsize, using an FSDirectory instead of RAMDirectory, and see if your filesystem cache does ok. If you have 12GB, then you should have enough RAM to hold both the old and new indexes during the switchover.
