Although the speed of alioth is better than it was during my first attempt, it is still a lot slower than during the tests when I was developing the cleanup. However, the speed looks good enough that the total cleanup can be completed within a reasonable time. It still means that the cleanup will take quite a bit longer than the planned 4 hours. I'm leaving the current dump+load stage running while I catch some sleep (after more than an hour it's now at revision 12875 out of 55900). I expect to finish the cleanup some time tomorrow afternoon. The repository will have to remain locked for commits in the mean time. Sorry for any inconvenience. Cheers, FJP
