Try reducing Poker Tracker's priority to below normal (ctrl-alt-delete, processes, right click ptrack2.exe, set priority).

Btw, I have database on remote machine, but it doesn't offer any speedups during import. I use monthly databases (each about 1mio mined hands) for observed hands to keep the imports reasonably fast. To avoid constantly rebuilding PAHud's cache, I've created monthly databases in advance (April-December) and included them all.
