This took, according to xbmc.log, from 21:36:27 to 21:56:23 to complete an import. Is this normal? It seemed to take a rather long period of time for what I'd consider a relatively small amount of data.
edit: have also noticed it now takes forever to open tv shows / movies from the main menu and everything is just really really slow when it's trying to read from the database
It seems like your MySql database is slow. What machine are you running it on? Can you check that there are no network errors or delays? Try to see what's the CPU load and network load on the machine running MySql database when movie import is going on.
As soon as you instruct XBMC to work with the MySql database the XBMC itself is not responsible any more for how well the database performs since XBMC only sends SQL queries to the database and everything else is done by MySql. So you need to debug entirely another new part of your system.
I am running MySql on a separate machine with 2Gb of RAM on a Gigabit network and did not see any slowness except for the media files (thumbs and fanart) on the first run.
