Not clear from that comment if you did so, but it's also a bad idea to 
try to import everything in one go.

While it seems like it would take more time, breaking the import into 
chunks (some would recommend monthly, reconciling after each one) allows 
you to train the import matcher, which in short order, greatly speeds up 
the process and saves you having to do as much pre-processing.
