Slow IGES file import

I have some large IGES files to import and for some reason, they are REALLY slow. Smaller files (1-2meg) load in less than a minute but some 8meg or more are taking exponentially longer (hours). It doesn't seem memory related as memory usage is not high.

Anyone have any suggestions?
