Hi Hakan. We've spent considerable time making the conversion the speed
that it is and do not plan to make it faster.

Well over 50% of the time of the import is extracting texts from the old
version: improvements there would only help the conversion and users
that haven't upgraded - we want to focus on helping users that are
upgrading.

I note that you are working on mysql branches, which are very big.

Upgrading that project should be handled with some coordination, as you
can prepare a single upgraded branch, which people can use to seed new
repositories and migrate much more quickly in that fashion.

Cheers,
Rob
