Group, I'm trying to wrap me head around the memory configuration for Neo4j.

I've got ~4 million parts that I have loaded and indexed via cypher and 
have these indexes:

Indexes
  ON :GraphPart(mfr_id)  ONLINE                             
  ON :GraphPart(part_id) ONLINE (for uniqueness constraint) 

Constraints
  ON (graphpart:GraphPart) ASSERT graphpart.part_id IS UNIQUE



Now I want to import my vendors via this cypher:

USING PERIODIC COMMIT 1
LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS FROM "file://localhost/home/deployer/tblMfr.csv" AS 
csvLine
    FIELDTERMINATOR '\t'
CREATE (vendor:GraphVendor { vendor_code_id: toInt(csvLine.Mfr_Code_ID), 
vendor_id: toInt(csvLine.Mfr_ID), vendor_name: csvLine.Mfr_Name, 
vendor_abbreviation: csvLine.Mfr_Abbr, vendor_status: csvLine.Mfr_Status })
WITH vendor
MATCH p = (GraphPart {mfr_id: vendor.vendor_id})
FOREACH (n IN nodes(p) | MERGE (n)-[r:MANUFACTURED_BY]->(vendor))


I have configured the conf files:

neo4j.properties:
neostore.nodestore.db.mapped_memory=50M
neostore.relationshipstore.db.mapped_memory=500M
neostore.propertystore.db.mapped_memory=100M
neostore.propertystore.db.strings.mapped_memory=130M
neostore.propertystore.db.arrays.mapped_memory=0M

neo4j-wrapper.conf:

wrapper.java.initmemory=4096
wrapper.java.maxmemory=12288


even with 12G heap and PERIODIC COMMIT *1 *messages.log looks like this:

Could anyone suggest what I can try next, or some alternative memory 
settings? 

I'm trying to get proof of concept up and running so I can present this to 
my bosses.

I hope I am missing something simple, if not I think it's time for Neo4j to 
invest in some canonical documentation on how to configure neo4j memory 
usage, There are sparse mentions in the user guide, but most of what I find 
related to performance comes from blog posts, stack overflow questions, and 
mailing list posts (most of which Michael Hunger is answering). I also hope 
once I get past these initial memory settings the rest of neo4j will just 
work.

Thanks for reading,

Chris
