The configuration looks fine. It seems like there's no indexes or 
something, causing the UPDATEs to take forever.

It could also be that there are a lot of counters. Calculate 500 hosts, 
2 directions, 3 protocols (ICMP/TCP/UDP), server ports (10 ish), client 
ports (hundreds), and you could easily be trying to update hundreds of 
thousands of records every 10 minutes.

Turn on debug, redirect the output of nfacctd to a file, and watch to 
see how many updates are actually being done.
