The SQLite, Python or just disk performance is very poor for some reason. Therefore, if you intend on importing StackOverflow, I would advise you to run Stackdump on Linux instead. The smaller sites all complete without a reasonable time though, and there are no perceptible issues with performance as far as I'm aware on Windows. + h2.
