Now, currently, there are around 151,000 ipranges listed in level1.gz
to block. So the above function's loop goes over these many times
inserting the rules for each range. And this is taking huge amount of
time: in over 50 minutes, only around 12% rules have been loaded on my
router running Etch (Pentium III, 449MHz, 380 MB RAM).

How can I speed this up? Advice?

thanks,

Anyone ... ?

That's a whole lotta rules. I'm not surprised that iptables doesn't
scale that well.
