Increase product import performance

[Chimera16]

Hello everyone,

I have the problem, that importing products is really slow... I need to import 40k products, which take 8 hours. Every product has 3-5 images, but every image is stored locally. Is this a usually behavior, or is it too slow? I could not find any import time values for products with images for reference...

I have tried importing the products in pieces, for example 40x1000 products, or 80x500products, but the performance remains the same. Partial indexing is deactivated, this is the part of my sript which does the import:

try {
    /** @var $import AvS_FastSimpleImport_Model_Import */
    $import = Mage::getModel('fastsimpleimport/import');
    $import->setPartialIndexing(false);
    $import->setBehavior(Mage_ImportExport_Model_Import::BEHAVIOR_REPLACE);
    $import->processProductImport($data);
} catch (Exception $e) {
    print '<pre>'; print_r($e); print '</pre>';
}

The import is not inside a loop. The server has 128GB of RAM available, the CPU is around 3% usage, while the import is running.

I'm using Magento 1.9.4.4 with FastSimpleImport 0.8.2.

I'm running out of ideas, i would highly appreciate any help..

Thanks in advance
