Quicktool is an option to slapadd that decreases the amount of time it 
takes to run slapadd.

As for the 2.0 data to 2.2, some people have written perl scripts to 
convert their data to be acceptable for loading into 2.2, and posted stuff 
about that to the list previously as well... It may save you some time in 
finding one of those, or writing your own, rather than hand modifying the 
LDIF files from slapcat.
