The comment on the change is:
Add "use an SSD" recommendation

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Remote filesystems are typically quite a bit slower for indexing.  If your index needs to be on the remote fileysystem, consider building it first on the local filesystem and then copying it up to the remote filesystem.
  
   * '''Get faster hardware, especially a faster IO system.'''
+ 
+  If possible, use a solid-state disk (SSD).  These devices have come down substantially in price recently, and much lower cost of seeking can be a very sizable speedup in cases where the index cannot fit entirely in the OS's IO cache.
  
   * '''Open a single writer and re-use it for the duration of your indexing session.'''
