Can you speak a bit to the speed/slowness of doing such chunking? We recently started using LLMs to clean the text (data quality/text cleanliness is a problem for us), and it has increased our indexing time a lot.

It's going to depend on what you're running on, but phi2 is pretty fast so you can reasonably expect to be hitting ~50 tokens a second. Given that, if you are ingesting a 100k token document you can expect it to take 30-40 minutes if done serially, and you can of course spread stuff in parallel.

thanks for the info--good to know we aren't the only ones contending with speed for large documents lol
