Speed up drupal 6 solr indexing We have 90,000 nodes and it and we run cron every 10 minutes and do 200 documents per cron run. At this rate it will take just over 3 days to index all the content. It is also indexing older content first.


Is there a way to index newer content first
Is there a way to index more than 200 per cron run?
You can change the settings at admin/settings/apachesolr.

If your server has enough capacity, I'd run the cron more often and increase the limit.

Check also this thread and be sure to disable core search indexing.

Not sure though about indexing newer nodes first.
