Thanks Elena!
I did not expect that it takes that long. Since one can run several
processes in parallel, I/O shouldn't be the limiting factor here and
for the same reason updating the database shouldn't slow it down too
much too I guess.
Do you know what exactly causes this long duration?
Cheers,
Marcus
