[ic] Trying to import 50,000 items

[interchange-users@icdevgroup.org (Nicholas Cook)]

I am trying to import a catalog of roughly 50,000 items and I am finding 
the import from the admin ui too slow (timing out on webserver). 
Database is PostgreSQL 7.1.3 and Interchange 4.8.3.  Is there a command 
line utility to allow this from a tab delineated file.  Also, curiosity 
question.  For those other people that have done the same, roughly how 
long did it take for your import to finish.

Thank you,
Nicholas Cook
