Loading speed of Demand points of location-allocation model is very slow..

Question

Hi Everyone,
I have 50000 demand locations for my research work. It took about 10 hours to load the 50000 points into demand points(as shown in figure) of Location-Allocation extension of ArcGIS 10.1. 
I have created all polygon files (points, lines) in a file geodatabase and try to load the demandLocations into the DemandPoints of location-allocation extension of ArcGIS (as shown in figure).

Please help me and let me know is there any other/faster way to load locations to the Location-allocation module of ArcGIS10.1.

Thanking You.

This is the most useful response I have ever got on a thread.

You have literally saved me days. The spatial index made all the difference.

Many many thanks.

Glad to know it worked.
As far as ArcLogistics, it is an end user application that is built on top of the VRP solver in Network Analyst extension.
ArcLogistics makes it simpler and more focused to use the VRP capabilities for delivery type applications. But is not as customizable as the VRP solver. In addition to the VRP solver, the network analyst extension has other solvers like the Location-Allocation solver for locating facilities.

Thank you Jay.
It worked after recalculating the spatial index. 
I have one more question related to ArcLogistics.
What is the differences between ArcLogistics and Nwtwork Analyst extensions?
My research area is modeling Biofuel supply logistics. Do you believe ArcLogistics have more capability and advanced tools than Network Analyst ?

Thanking you for your help and contribution to solve my problem.

God bless you.
