Thanks, but I already figured mwdumper out: "Future versions of mwdumper will include support for creating a database and configuring a MediaWiki installation directly, but currently it just produces raw SQL which can be piped to MySQL."
Yes, you have to run tables.sql into your database as well. Painful, I know. ;)
I already produced raw SQL (using mwimport), so it's not the XML to SQL conversion that is the bottleneck. I think mwdumper just improves this step but not the data import to the database.
I don't know anything about this "mwimport" tool, but mwdumper uses batch inserts and the README includes a number of tips about speeding up the SQL end. You might want to check if you're doing this already.
