Hi Daniel,

Can you clarify if you use Docker at Mapbox? What kind of server do you 
guys have (if not the one described on the wiki page)?

Over night, the process has gone to just 75% complete from 65% yesterday 
- 41 hours in total now, and back to maxing CPU again.

Kind regards,
Kieran Caplice
