My products database has a similar number of records. I use the admin
GUI to import as tab-delimted and it takes about 5 minutes to complete
on my cable connection. My cable company caps the upload speed at
128Kbps. I noticed that Mozilla and IE work better for this than
Netscape 6.X did. Netscape 6.X took forever to do much of anything in
the GUI.
