But does that really change anything on the database server side ?
In other words is MySQL doing anything with respect to using prepared
statements ?

That would run faster if you do a prepare with placeholders outside
the loop and then just use $sth->execute($j, $j, $j) inside.

That would save you the DBI statement handle creation/destruction
overhead that you're paying for each insert when using do().
