The more documents you have to index, the more likely that extra RAM will improve performance. Here are some general guidelines. 256MB of RAM if you are indexing less than 30,000 items 512MB of RAM if you are indexing between 30,000 and 75,000 items 1GB of Ram if you are indexing over 75,000 items. You can determine the number of items in your current index by going to Tool/Indexing Settings and looking at the bottom right of the window under Index Stats. The upper limit of items you can have in the master index is 500,000.
