      If your vectors have a relatively low dimensionality (e.g., less than 128), you can use `IndexHNSWFlat` instead of `IndexHNSW`. This can be faster since it avoids the overhead of the hierarchical structure. ### 4. **Optimize Construction P

      Approximate nearest neighbor search methods can significantly reduce search time while maintaining reasonable accuracy. One popular choice is the `IndexIVFFlat` index, which combines inverted file indexing with flat indexing. ### 2. Optimi
