slow category import in magento

I wrote a custom adapter for importing 6K categories using the advanced profiles. The import is too slow. I've tried increasing the number of records from 1 to 5 but it doesn't help. I also tried using ->setDisplayMode($dispMode) and ->setIsMassupdate(true) before saving the category but it also doesn't help.

Any idea how to speed things up?

Solution

  • Magento importing mechanism is painfully slow. You would be better off inserting the data directly into the database.
