I don't remember if I already mentioned this: you can split the xml
file * into smaller pieces then import it using importDump.php.
Use a loop to make a file like this and then run it:
#!/bin/bash
php maintenance/importDump.php < /path/pagexml.1
wait
php maintenance/importDump.php < /path/pagexml.2
...
I haven't tried to start many php importDump.php processes working on
different xml files simultaneously, will it work?
