Ah, but there is a trick that can be done, it won't help you shorten the "seven
hours" but...

Re-indexing is by default a serial threaded process.  It does not have to be.
If you have enough memory and disc resources, each processor can re-index one
data set.  Use DBINSTAL instead of DBUTIL, open the database in READONLY and
viola.
