List,

I am bulk inserting a huge amount of data into a MyISAM table (a wikipedia page dump). Before I issued SOURCE filename.sql; I did an ALTER TABLE page DISABLE KEYS; LOCK TABLES page WRITE; The dump consists of about 1,200 bulk INSERT statements with roughly 12,000 tuples each. For the first hour or so it performed pretty good, taking about 5 seconds for each INSERT and using all the CPU it could get.
But a while later time consumption increased up to 10 minutes.
In the same time, mysqld is barely using any CPU (less than 2%), there is no significant I/O going on, and there is still unused memory.
Thoughts?

Thanks a lot
