Why does Magento 2.0.2 freeze on a tier prices import?

We can increase the PHP memory limit and execution time, however these are already very high limits. If your script is using over 512MB and/or 60 seconds to run, there is likely something wrong with the script.

They are wrong because the prices import can require much more time than 60 seconds, and more RAM than 512 megabytes.
