Yes, yes, a thousand times yes.  I'm willing to wager that 90% of your time 
is spent waiting for the commits in this scenario.

Well, it's only slower by a factor of 6 when you go from 0 rows to 350,000 
rows, which seems reasonable.  When you have 0 rows in the database, you 
probably have the table, indexes, etc. completely cached in memory.  When 
the table grows larger, however, more and more "stuff" will be coming from 
the disk.

Additionally, the commits are likely to be a bit more complicated the more 
rows you have, because the number of blocks that need to be touched in the 
indexes will go up.

Can you do batch inserts, so that you're not committing 10,000 
times?  Modify the application to batch 1000 statements at a time, and I'll 
be you get much happier very quickly.
