In the grass API, the function for storing attributes verify that the attribute
number you sent doesn't exist.  This is obviously unnecessary when importing an
e00 file.  The corolary is that you do that for each attribute and that the
verification time increases exponetialy with the number of graphic objets...

This should be corrected in a future release of m.in.e00 (sorry, not enough
time those days ...)
