Upgrade from Mysql 4.0 to 5.0 without dumping data

Hi Guys!

Has anyone come across a method of upgrading the databse from Mysql 4.0 to Mysql 5.0. Since my database has over a billion records it takes ages to dump the data and to populate the same in the newer version. Is there no tool devised that could directly convert the database files from one format to the other. Have been researching this for some while but no success!
Vikas,

I'm sure I can't help you, but I'm in the middle of an upgrade from 4.0.21 to 5.0.27
What I did is just copy my databases from the old data directory to the new data directory. :o
After that, I run the mysql upgrade routine within a dos box and everything is working. :-\
BUT, it's awfully slow  :( comparing to 4.0.21. I don't know why and if it has something to do with the way I "upgraded"my databases.
