I'm using Neo4j 3.2.1 on linux machine of 16G RAM . I'm tryng to load a graph from a csv file of 11M row, the max number of node is for about 150K node. It is taking forever to load, I have tried to increase the heap size , using periodic commit from 10000 to 100000 but still nothing is changing it is hanging for about 2 hours now. I looked up the internet and found that it should not be taking that much time here is the configuration file

dbms.jvm.additional=-XX:-OmitStackTraceInFastThrow
# Make sure that `initmemory` is not only allocated, but committed to
# the process, before starting the database. This reduces memory
# fragmentation, increasing the effectiveness of transparent huge
# pages. It also reduces the possibility of seeing performance drop
# due to heap-growing GC events, where a decrease in available page
# cache leads to an increase in mean IO response time.
# Try reducing the heap memory, if this flag degrades performance.
dbms.jvm.additional=-XX:+AlwaysPreTouch
# Trust that non-static final fields are really final.
# This allows more optimizations and improves overall performance.
# NOTE: Disable this if you use embedded mode, or have extensions or dependencies that may use reflection or
# serialization to change the value of final fields!
