performance problems in loading

[Danielle et jean Thierry-Mieg]

You fly while you fill the cache
but then it should stay fast

you describe gioing to 1 record/minute which ius ridiculously slow

so i suppose you have defines a cachesize much larger than you actual memeory and are
swapping 
acedb should not swap

please check wspec/cachesize.wrm , the size declared should be a good
proportion of your real ram

other explanation, as proposed by richard, your database disk is not locally mounted

please what is you architecture, and your disk drive
