Way back when, I was inserting a lot of rows of date (millions of rows)
and it was taking many hours on a machine with 6 10,000 rpm Ultra/320
SCSI hard drives and 8 GBytes of ram. Each insert was a separate
transaction.

When I bunched up lots of rows (thousaands) into a single transaction,
the whole thing took less than an hour.

Is it possible that when you insert 273 rows at once, you are doing it
as 273 transactions instead of one?
