You've turned off auto-commit right and just do one commit at
the end? Otherwise its doing a lot of work for each record
added. In general when you are doing bulk inserts, you want
to turn off some of the database features to gain speed.

Make sure auto-commit is off and then post the results. I
bet they are *way* faster!
