Same as always: use the defaults and call optimize() only when you know
you won't be changing the index for a while.
If you have lots of RAM, increasing minMergeDocs may increase indexing
speed, but raising it too
: mergeFactor and maxMergeDocs
Obsession with indexing performance is not healthy. Before changing any
settings convince yourself that indexing performance is a real problem
for your application. How often do you re-index from scratch? Are you
really having any difficulty keeping up
