That's why I didn't give any advice. /Something/ has to load those sectors from main storage and whenever that is done, that's when the extra 57 seconds is going to happen. It could be tested, of course. Make a source file which is ten times that length and see if it takes 10 minutes the first time and 30 seconds subsequent times. I doubt that a database with 10 million rows could all fit in the cache. Simon.
