Are you actually committing 50MB in a single record? You'll get
better performance by making smaller commits (having a large tree is
okay, but Darcs is certainly not optimised for very large imports.)
Are you storing autogenerated files? Are they marked binary? What
does ``darcs resolve'' say?
How much physical memory do you have?
