This is a total guess, but is it possible that the PreparedStatement is
gathering warnings on every execution? Try doing

stmt.clearWarnings();

inside the loop. I assume that setting parameter values replaces old values
immediately, so there''s no real reason to do

stmt.clearParameters();

each time as well, but it probably couldn't hurt. :)
