The updates are causing the refreshes. See [this](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.5/breaking_50_document_api_changes.html#_get_api) and [this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/elasticsearch-bulk-update-is-extremely-slow/78258) and [this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/bulk-updates-are-extremely-slow-after-upgrading-to-5-2/79450/24).
