we just hit this problem when moving old database to new one (new
schema).
we had to insert approx. 1.5 million rows, and from initial 0.02s/insert
after several thousands of inserts it came to 20 seconds per insert.
what we did was removing foreign keys from table which we made inserts
to.
it helped. we manage to put 300k records in ca. 2-3 hours.
