I know this is really late, but I was going through my email tonight
and saw you never got an answer. I'm not sure whether the --deltas
option would have made much difference one way or the other in your
timing, it would make the resulting dump file smaller, but that isn't
want you want.
Actually, as you are using the BDB back-end you long load time are
probably related to the automatic removal of bdb log files and/or log
file fsyncs. The next time you do a load enable
the 'DB_TXN_NOSYNC' option in <repo>/db/DB_CONFIG and also disable
'DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE'. After you are done you should flip both of these
back though because they are useful, but really slow things down when
you are iterating through a ton of revisions.
