Hi, I managed to run an archival node successfully and it’s fully synced. Now I wanted to run the indexer, but it’s taking a really long time to sync/import (on testnet for now). I get maybe 1 million rounds imported per day, which leads to more than 2 weeks sync time.  
The thing is, neither the node seems particularly stressed, nor the indexer, nor the database. CPU is at ~10%, memory is still sufficient. So where is the bottleneck? Are there any options to speed things up? Why doesn’t it fetch faster?
