I think the only likely thing that could cause this behavior is having index segments that are composed fully of deleted documents, which supports the idea that Upayavira mentioned. An optimize would probably cause the same behavior as the restart. If you do enough indexing to cause a segment merge, that would probably also remove segments composed only of deleted documents.
