As the index grows, disk i/o becomes the bottleneck. The default indexing parameters do a pretty good job of optimizing this. But if you have lots of CPUs and lots of disks, you might try building several indexes in parallel, each containing a subset of the documents, optimize each index and finally merge them all into a single index at the end. But you need lots of i/o capacity for this to pay off.

becomes prohibitably high.  It appears to increase linearly.

Oh well. I guess I'll just have to go with about 3ms/doc.
