I am using WPMU installation and trying to import listing in my site.
I started with ns1-standard 1 (2 CPUs and 3.75GB RAM) instance of GCE. At that time import was going smoothly and I was able to import at a pace of 250 entries per hour using WP All Import.
However, that time CPU utilization went to 60-70%, which create a huge impact on live visitors on my server so I upgraded to ns1-standard-2 (4CPUs and 7.5GB RAM) and then to 11GB RAM.
Slowly performance of the import has started decreasing. I modified values of max vars, memory, max execution time to practically Infinite but now after just 15k entries speed is 80 entries in an hour. I have to import 200k entries in my server.
I am also getting sudden spikes in CPU usage. I did not have such spikes in the beginning. Also error log doesn't have anything mentioned wrt import process.

Any pointers?
