You mean a dedicated backup replica? If yes, would less indexing on this backup replica also help?
If I understand ITS#7904 and ITS#8226 correctly the backup replica would potentially also cause search operations with large result sets. Yes, rtxnsize helps for those. But I believe it would also help if the backup replica is faster while catching up the changes missed during slapcat.
