consider stacking the insert statements in sql to allow for a certain
number of inserts in one connect.
insert into my_table (field1, field2...fieldn)
values('field1','field2'...fieldn),('field1','field2'...fieldn),('field1','field2'...fieldn),('field1','field2'...fieldn)...
keep to something like 100 to avoid buffer overflows and it should
make the inserts much faster
