Clean import, old forum has ~ 2.000.000 posts, 34.000 users.

We are trying to migrate our forum to vb, but the impex process is way too slow... After having had some problems (in past, smaller, import test we made) with memory we set the number of post to import per page to 200.
While first pages were crunched away quite fast, as it proceeded it took longer and longer. Now we are at 30 minutes per page, and often, after the php process finishes working, it stops without going further with the next batch of posts (the browser never receive the generated page... maybe this is due to some timeout between apache and the separate php process).
Last received page was:
From : 32600 :: To : 32800
31' 35" of CPU time (and counting) ago.
I doubt it can make it to 2.000.000, not with this exponential growth of the processing time.
We are using php in cgi-mode, with 256 Mb limit, and 120000 secs of max_execution_time. We got no errors, but at this speed it seems impossible to complete the task.
What can we try? Why is it so slow (I mean, c'mon, to analyze and convert 200 messages it can't take so long!) Maybe we could try disabling some test/process in the script?
