Bill: We hit this same thing with a 35,000+ subscriber list that gets refreshed once a month or so. We found moving from Listserv Classic to Listserv HPO cut the add time from about an hour to literally seconds - it was under a minute or so. If you're doing it "rarely" it may not matter, but it was well worth the licencing fees to go to HPO - it speeded up the bulk loads of 4,000 subscriber lists as well, and we get a LOT of those at the beginning of each semester.
