>From my own experience, by using this method, that is doing one insert per 200 or more rows I can increase the insert speed from between 5x - 10x. A couple more performance improvements where made as well so that value isn't a strict reflection, but it certainly help enormously. You can easily test this by dumping a large number of rows using mysqldump and mysqldump -e and then comparing the re-insert speeds.
