Hi Stan You should be able to set those advanced options in your sphinx.yml file - they're not listed on the docs page, but they will get passed through to the generated configuration file. http://freelancing-god.github.com/ts/en/advanced_config.html
That said, I've no idea what settings will make your indexing speeds faster (or less memory intensive) - but try changing them, see what makes it all faster/smoother, would love to hear some solid numbers.
