Converting HUGE (12GB) SVN repo to Hg

[Philip Pemberton]

Hi guys,
   I'm trying to convert a 12GB (~160,000 commits) Subversion repository 
to Mercurial. The conversion has been running for about 10 hours now, 
and has converted... about 600 commits. This is on a quad-core Intel 
Q6600 box with 4GB of RAM, with the repository svnsync'd into a local 
directory. Platform is Linux x86_64.

   At this rate I'll be here until ((160e3 / 600) * 10) = 2,667 hours, 
or about 111 days if the machine is left running 24/7.

   Is there a faster way to do this?

Thanks,
--
