Most require far too much execution time to be
done
over HTTP, you hit timeouts too easily.
Huh, that's annoying. Would a progress ticker be sufficient to keep
the connection alive and the admin interested?
(I'm putting this forward as an inchoate feature request not quite up
to Bugzilla yet :-) )
Actually SMW has something like this. It has a Special:SMWAdmin page
used to set up and upgrade the DB tables, and refresh the data. I
believe for the data refresh it splits it into chunks and puts it in the
job queue.
