I am processing past x days of data. Data ingestion is slow. I started looking at CPU and memory and they are at 40-50%. But indexing pattern is weird

As seen in the pic , peak indexing of around 4k-5k happens once every 10 min. Rest of time indexing does not happen. How do I improve this ? Ideally I would like indexing to be spread around 8-9 minutes for every 10 min
