Importing large dump files to neo4j desktop database

Hi,

I'm trying to import dump files of size 4.5-8 GB into a neo4j DBMS (by loading the file to a project and creating a DBMS from the file), but the "fetching databases" step goes on for ever (this step gets done pretty quickly for another dumpfile I tested that had a size of 350 MB).

Can someone please suggest what's the easiest way to create databases from such large dump files?

Thanks
