Also delete your INDEX / KEYs and add them at the very end instead.
[JS] Wouldn't it take as long to build the indices? I guess it probably
wouldn't.
It will not. MySQL does not "grow" or "edit" its index files
incrementally, it computes a fresh on-disk index image for every change.
Right now, you are doing a complete index rebuild for every row you add.
If you add up the total work you are saving (index 121000 rows, index
121001 rows, index 121002 rows,...) then you can see a big improvement
by waiting to put the indexes on the table at the very end of the process.
