I'm doing an ids query with 1,000,000 ids which takes about a minute to return (page size = 10,000)  
I'm using scroll API to fetch all those ids, but for some reason each page is taking me about a minute to return from Elastic. is it reasonable? I thought that I'm "paying the price" on the first query and than each scroll is cheap, no?
