I suggest reading the man page for slapadd, and look at the options 
available.

I suggest reading the various documentation on properly tuning DB_CONFIG to 
the size of your database.

I suggest reading the man page for slapd.conf and look at the options 
relating to the slap* tools.

All of these things contain information that can help you decrease the 
amount of time it takes to slapadd the database.  Assuming you don't have a 
massive amount of indexing and sane disks, it should take less than a 
minute or two to slapadd your DB on the worst case.
