How many crawl passes did you do ?
Three deep, as in: bin/nutch crawl seeds -depth 3
This was the same as Doug described in his post here:

I assume the time it takes depends on your hardware, bandwidth, how many
urls are being fetched and your mapreduce settings.
4 hours seems a bit long when starting from 1 url though.
Are you using 2 or 3 slave machines?
What values are you using for "fetcher.threads.fetch",
"mapred.map.tasks" and "mapred.reduce.tasks"?
When doing a "nutch readdb crawldb -stats", how many DB_unfetched and
DB_fetched do you have?
Sorry for the late reply.
The problem was caused by the default IPC timeout value being too low.
We were getting lots of timeout errors, which was killing our performance.
