That seems awfully long. You did tune postgresql as described in the
wiki before you started, right? You did make sure you actually had
enough memory to make sure you aren't swapping in the process? On a
system with only 1GB of memory I could get it to complete in a day
(though that was a while back)..

Have a nice day,
