I think the one advantage of syncing each slot in a different
transaction could have been if that helps with the visibility of
updated slot information but that is not the case here as we always
persist it to file. As per my understanding, here we need a
transaction as we may access catalogs while creating/updating slots,
so, a single transaction should be okay unless there are any other
reasons.
