- You can write documents to the database at a higher rate by
- using the batch option. This collects document writes together
- in memory (on a user-by-user basis) before they are committed to
- disk. This increases the risk of the documents not being stored
- in the event of a failure, since the documents are not written
- to disk immediately.
