 * “Imported 5 posts in 236.70 seconds.”
    Importing 5 posts in 4 minutes is not 
   very promising. If I try to import more than 5 posts i wait and wait and nothing
   happens. Can you tell me why this takes so long? Is my WP database out of space?
   Is it a hosting problem? Is it a wordpress problem? Can I add another database
   to wordpress and solve the problem that way?
 * Heeeellllpppppp!!!!

 * It’s difficult to say something with that little information.
 * Something you can try right away is to import some of the small examples distributed
   with the importer. They should not take long. If they do I would suspect a problem
   with the hosting. If they are fast but your csv files are not it would be interesting
   to see an example of your files to see if either them or the importer could be
   improved.
