Try it off-line, if you can.

No advice is better than bad advice. The convertor, as with any bit of software which by its nature is demanding on DB performance, will run best of performant DB hardware, which in the case of large forums... will be on the existing hardware they are hosted on as opposed to "on some desktop machine", which by default will be abysmally non-performant as a DB server.

I'm on a more powerful server now, but why use up your server resources until you are ready and you have worked out all the bugs on your localhost first… if there are bugs converting on your localhost… they will be there when you convert it on your server as well.
I don't recommend doing it on the same server until you are ready to convert and you have made sure it works on your localhost first.
Are there any queries that get longer (maybe unnecessarily?) as the number of posts increases in the phpbb3 database?
