<....> As I don't care for data consistency *while* importing (if the import should abort, I can alway restart the process), I'm stopping the regular slapd and run it manually under the control of 'eatmydata', a little tool that LD_PRELOAD's all filesystem sync operations to noops. This has increased the speed of my import tests by several orders of magnitude.

This might be a stupid question or I don't undersand your goal, but if you shut down you operational server, why don't you use 'slapadd' (optionally with the '-q -s' option in case you know your input is consistent)?
