The IU_INDEXTHREADS environment variable specifies the number of index threads.

The number of index threads. The default is 1.

The number of index threads is set to 1 by default because most systems don’t handle multiple threads writing to the same file very efficiently. However, on systems with extremely fast random I/O (like an NMVe SSD with PCIe or a high-end SANS), setting this number to 2 or higher may result in better performance.
