Thanks. That reduced the import time to about 4hr 30 minutes. However,
this is still much slower than using VxFS with plain disks. Any other
ideas?

I'm now running a test using VxFS on SVM soft partitions to see if that
improves performance at all (but I'd much rather have the flexibility of
VxVM).
