Are there indexes or foreign keys in the tables? Check constraints? Other things we should know about?
I think I found the problem. There were indexes on the tables which I wanted to copy. I remembered the performance tip to add indexes after copying the data when I saw the activity of my hard drive during importing the data on my local computer. This feedback of the hard drive LED was missing during the import on the server ;-)
