| I am using the 20070402 english wikipedia dump. And importing 
| it into a MediaWiki-1.6.10 [ cause we only have PHP4 on the server ]
| 
| Any idea about how long it will take to import the whole thing ?
| 
| importing 3,637,700 took around 31 Hours. 

Well, 32 p/sec - importDump is terribly slow (in my env. 3 p/sec) and
probably have bugs. Try mwdumper (in my system 1180 p/sec).  For more tips
