MS SQL Server 2008 SSIS-Slow speed while importing flat file

Hi,
I am using SQL Server 2008. When I imported flat file (14,204,484 files) to sql database through SSIS package it took almost 75 mins to complete. Could you please let me know why this much long time will take to import flat file.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
SQLUSER

do you mean 14,204,484 files or ROWS ?

I thought he means ROWS...

One would hope - if it's files, then I can see why it's slow...

14,204,484 rows and each rows contain one document information.

It depends where you import into. Are you imported into New Table? or Table which is already exists with row identity?

It takes 20 mins to transfer my monthly records (7,000,000) using SSIS in SQL 2008.
