0.8.0 is much faster indeed. While prior versions needed days to fully
synchronise with network, 0.8.0 pulled all the data in less than 12 hours.

Thank you Scott. However with or without removing of old data after import
Bitcoin-0.8.0 uses both cores of my CPU up to 100% all the time. Interestingly
enough it hardly does any IO, just consumes a lot of CPU power.
Without old ~/.bitcoin directory Bitcoin-0.8.0 do not use much CPU after full
synchronisation so there is a serious upgrade issue...
