I had the same experience.

Pro: Meilisearch search speed and memory use was great compared to others (at the cost of large storage requirements but that's the cheapest thing to upgrade).

Con: Indexing documents (even with recommended batch sizes) was extremely intensive on the system as the document count increased (upwards of 20 million docs to index).

I had to modify the indexing script to completely pause indexing when system load average went too high to prevent the whole server crashing.

Also, this 1.0 upgrade apparently requires a full export and import of data if you're upgrading from the previous release? I hope this isn't the case for >= v1.0 releases because I'm not looking forward to exporting/reimporting 200+GB of Meilisearch data files over and over again.
