openlong makestack runs

Description
I have a question about makestack behavior. I have a session with > 300,000 particles. When I run makestack, I notice that the job slows to a crawl after the stack grows greater than ~150,000 particles. The rate limiting step seems to be the database uploading part of makestack. My memory is fuzzy, but I seem to remember that this has been brought up before. Is the slowdown because makestack is querying all the particles before inserting the new ones? Is this something that everyone just lives with?

Yeah, it sounds like the same bug, but it has not been reported that it slows down as the stack run goes on. As I understand it, the insert slowness, should be constant throughout the job and independent of stack size, because particles are inserted after each image.
