No other developer is working on the target CRM, no users as well. IIS and SQL are doing mostly nothing. And still it can take lots of time for each entity to import. Sometimes restarting the Deletion service can help a bit bot not dramatically. Seems strange there are no similar cases on the newsgroups, cause 'd really like to find the source of this problem. It's really annoying. I've seen this happen on every environment and every CRM 3.0 project so far.

I think a lot of it has to do with how busy the SQL server is. I would suggest running Performance Monitor to monitor the SQL Servers's processor and memory counters to see if it's maxing out or anything. The few times I have seen it take a while it will actually error out with a SQL error. Hope this helps. Mitch Alex,

I'm not getting errors during the customizations.xml import process but it just takes forever to complete. Sometimes I have only 5-6 custom entities and a few relationships and still, I could probably recreate all my customizations on the target CRM by hand again, and still finish before the automated import process. This is driving me nuts. Is it just me or does importing customizations can sometimes take hours?
