the import is too slow

[/rai]

I am using the code below to make an import from csv. But today prestashop its functions takes me 40 minutes to 300 products with pictures. Is there any way to optimize it?

function loadProductsPost() {
	$_POST = array (
		'tab' => 'AdminImport',
		'skip' => '1',
		'csv' => 'xxxxx.csv',
		'forceIDs' => '0',
		'match_ref' => '1',
		'convert' => '',
		'entity' => '1',
		'separator' => ';',
		'multiple_value_separator' => ',',
		'iso_lang' => 'es',
		'import' => 'Importar datos CSV',
		'type_value' =>
		array (
			0 => 'category',
			1 => 'name',
			2 => 'description_short',
			3 => 'reference',
			4 => 'ean13',
			5 => 'weight',
			6 => 'wholesale_price',
			7 => 'price_tex',
			8 => 'ecotax',
			9 => 'manufacturer',
			10 => 'image',
		),
	);
}
 
$import = New AdminImportController();
 
loadProductsPost();
 
$import->productImport();
 

function loadCategoriesPost() {
	$_POST = array (
		'tab' => 'AdminImport',
		'skip' => '1',
		'csv' => 'xxxxxx.csv',
		'forceIDs' => '1',
		'convert' => '',
		'entity' => '0',
		'separator' => ';',
		'multiple_value_separator' => ',',
		'iso_lang' => 'es',
		'import' => 'Importar datos CSV',
		'type_value' =>
		array (
			0 => 'id',
			1 => 'active',
			2 => 'name',
			3 => 'parent',
			4 => 'is_root_category',
			5 => 'description',
			6 => 'meta_title',
			7 => 'meta_keywords',
			8 => 'meta_description',
			9 => 'link_rewrite',
			10 => 'image',
		),
	);
}
 
$import = New AdminImportController();
 
loadCategoriesPost();
 
$import->categoryImport();

Can you try it without images?
