TrainCascade stuck on getting new negatives

I'm working with OpenCV 2.4.7 on windows. I'm using TrainCascade to train a new Haar cascade for eyeglasses using the following command:

opencv_traincascade -data trainCascade20 -vec vector3.vec -bg infofile3.txt -numStages 40 -minHitRate 0.999  maxFalseAlarmRate 0.5 -numPos 170 -numNeg 1000 -w 20 -h 20 -mode ALL -precalcValBufSize 1024 -precalcIdxBufSize 1024

It's stuck (or progressing very slow) on stage 24 on the phase of getting new negatives. The negative images file "infofile3.txt" contains about 12K negative image.

Can someone please explain why it's progressing so slowly and what can I do make it progress (a lot) faster?

Thanks in advance,

Gil.
