Compile time on aardc puts conversion of large dictionaries outside the reach of most users.

Expected process time was 66 days for enwiki on a machine with 4 processors and 2GB of ram. After moving to a machine with 32 processors and 100GB of RAM (some of which was used as a ramdisk for the source and destination files for aardc) it still took 18 hours.

If the process was faster ( less than 2 days on middle of the line current PC ) users would be more likely to compile current dictionaries for the community.
