I don't know who you are replying to here, but... There's nothing to stop you doing:
* import 2m docs * sleep 2 days * import 2m docs * sleep 2 days * repeat above until done * commit There's no reason why you should commit regularly. If you need to slow down for your DB, do, but that doesn't mean you need to increase the frequency of your commits.
