[OSM-newbies] Typically, how long lo load a planet file?

[Bernardo Elayda]

Hi!

My setup is as follows:

Ubunutu 8.04 (512 MB, 100GB HD)
Ruby v1.8.7
RoR 2.0.2
Mysql v5.0.51a

I'm currently loading a planet file using the following options for Osmosis:

 osmosis
--read-xml file="planet-081217.osm.bz2"
compressionMethod="bzip2"
--write-mysql host="localhost"
database="openstreetmap"
user="openstreetmap"
password="openstreetmap"
validateSchemaVersion="no"

How long does this typically take to complete? Should I have added some
options to speed things up?
When I top to watch things, it seems like osmosis is spending lots of time
not running.

tia,
Bernie
