Just to have something to compare with. I have an AMD Sempron 2500 with 512Mb and sending off ~206Mb/678119 files to a mysql 4.0 db takes ~40 minutes. I know it's less then your amount and the difference probably isn't linear but increasing the data with 50% shouldn't change the time to 10 times longer. One thing that I think made a difference for me was that I changed the /etc/my.cnf to the supplied "my-large.cnf" one. Maybe something similar can be done for Postgres. 03-Apr 16:57 riker-sd: Sending spooled attrs to the Director.
