If you're using Solr storage, yes, you need to run the full import once. (I'm not sure about DB storage)
Regarding performance issues - the reason Solr is fast is that it tries to use as much memory as you can give it. Therefore any performance limitations are most likely caused by little memory. If you can, increase the amount of memory you give Tomcat in JAVA_OPTS. The good thing about oai import is that it shows you a message after each imported 100 of items, so you can watch the progress.
