Update indexing speed recommendations around the refresh interval. (#40690)

We now need to update recommendations now that we have introduced the concept
of "search idle" shards.

-=== Increase the refresh interval

-The default <<dynamic-index-settings,`index.refresh_interval`>> is `1s`, which
-forces Elasticsearch to create a new segment every second.
-Increasing this value (to say, `30s`) will allow larger segments to flush and
-decreases future merge pressure.
+=== Unset or increase the refresh interval
+
+The operation that consists of making changes visible to search - called a
+<<indices-refresh,refresh>> - is costly, and calling it often while there is
+ongoing indexing activity can hurt indexing speed.
+
+By default, Elasticsearch runs this operation every second, but only on
+indices that have received one search request or more in the last 30 seconds.
+This is the optimal configuration if you have no or very little search traffic
+(e.g. less than one search request every 5 minutes) and want to optimize for
+indexing speed.
+
+On the other hand, if your index experiences regular search requests, this
+default behavior means that Elasticsearch will refresh your index every 1
+second. If you can afford to increase the amount of time between when a document
+gets indexed and when it becomes visible, increasing the
+<<dynamic-index-settings,`index.refresh_interval`>> to a larger value, e.g.
+`30s`, might help improve indexing speed.
