If during an import operation you untick Partial import -> Allow the interruption of an import... then phpMyAdmin seems to send the entire thing to mysql which is processed slowly. Unfortunately phpMyAdmin (at least on my shared host) will no longer respond to requests, but using a browser on a different IP address works and let's you monitor the query's progress.
