That's a shame. Did you find it works faster? This job has to run, so doing it on the command line is still the best way.

The import itself was already fast. These additional tasks are killing everything.

On a large website, after using feedme to import some content it immediatelly triggers the "Updating element slugs and URIs" process that takes very long time to complete. Is there a way to postpone or temporary disable this task and do the import first?

You can try disabling Craft's queue temporarily by adding `'runQueueAutomatically' => false` to general.php, then trigger the feed [via the command line](https://docs.craftcms.com/feed-me/v4/feature-tour/trigger-import-via-cron.html#console-command).

Without testing this *might* prevent the 'Updating element slugs and URIs' job, but in any case – doing it this way you should see better performance overall.

p.s. if you add `--verbose` to the end of the command you can see what it's doing.
