Yup, XAMPP's mysql config did the trick, importing
en's cur on a
machine inferior to yours in 32 mins.
Ironically, the last 8 hours have been spent trying to import
the 2.5gb Wikipedia cur_table.sql dump into a local MySQL instance
using InnoDB on a 2.1Ghz machine with 3gb of RAM and _very_ fast
disks.
What's the trick to speeding this up, other than using MyISAM?
