I have just started playing around with MySQLdb for a project I am planning.
As a test I have written a script that executes 3000 insert statements on a table. The table contains 10 fields with a mix of text and numbers - its a product table for a website eg UPC, ProductName, Price etc.
The problem I have is that it takes just over two minuted to execute the 3000 insert statements which seems really slow! I am running it on a machine with a 1.5 Ghz Pentium M Processor and Gig Of Ram. I dont think the machine is to blame for the speed because during execution the processor sits at about 10% and there is loads of free RAM.
Does anyone know if this sort of speed sounds right?
Cheers,
Dan.
