After several attempts, each one ramping 1 of my CPUs to 100%, I never made it past 12% complete.  I killed the Unity Photo Lens (which was consuming 30% of the second CPU), but saw no change in the import.  After giving this several tries, I gave up for an afternoon.

I agree, I had the same problem with import from both SD card and from
iPhone.

Copying the files to a new dir on the hard drive, and importing from
there worked like a breeze.

Something is broken in the import I guess.
