Raj,
The effect of commit=y is greatly effected the the setting of buffer=N. How big was your buffer? If you left at default, that would seriously slow down your import. I think the default size is platform dependent and possibly db block size dependent ( too lazy to RTFM ), but it's always too small. I've found that buffer=10485760 works pretty well for me in most cases. It requires a little experimentation to find an optimal value, but in my somewhat limited testing of it, I've found that values over 10m don't offer much more performance.
