Re: [Gramps-devel] A plea for help in testing 1.1.99

[Jason S. <wha...@co...>]

Now running deb package on Mepis, and the import is overwhelmingly slow. 
(currently at 222,000 people imported)  Compared to the 8 hour import that 
took place under 1.1.2 (I think), it's become bear slow for some reason.  
I'll look through the list of changes in ReadGedcom.py to see what might be 
the source of the issues.
