You don't give us much information about how you're indexing, so
it's
hard to give specific advice, but in general increasing the batch size
will make indexing go faster - provided you have enough memory.  The
default is to auto-commit every 10000 document changes, which is fairly
conservative for modern hardware.  And if each line in a file is a
document, then your documents are presumably very small so you should be
able to raise this a lot.

To set it, you just set XAPIAN_FLUSH_THRESHOLD in the environment (and
make sure it is exported) - e.g.:

env XAPIAN_FLUSH_THRESHOLD=1000000 ./my-indexer
