Make sure you use the -e (extended insert) option on your mysqldump - this speeds things up tremendously. Also, make sure you use "-q" on your mysqldump so it doesn't buffer the results in RAM during the dump. I did a ~10GB dump and it took around 2 hours to load on an Opteron 250, 4GB RAM, 8x15K RPM RAID 10 drive system. Best regards, Richard Dale.
