I think this is due to all the hype from the Dual Core Chips. They cut down on heat and reduced actual Performance on this, from my Testing.
I have a Pentium 4 2.4ghz (older) 533mhz bus processor in my laptop. I have 2 gb of Memory a 4200rpm Hard drive. I just imported 88 .zip files in 26 seconds.
This was with Version 3.303. It always speeds right through these songs.
I have a new Dell Inspiron 6400 (Buisness version of the 1505, I believe) DUO Core t2300 (1.6ghz) with 512mb of Memory. It imported these same exact files in 41 seconds. So I am not sure if the memory made that large a difference or if it is the actual Processor speed.
Yours is faster than this laptop, so it should take less time, nothing like what you are reporting.
What version of the software are you running?
