This is just a suggestion, but you might look into separating this 
import out to a separate "daemon" process. Maybe just a simple Rack 
application or possibly use Rails Metal. The goal, of course, being to 
offload this "heavy" task as to not interfere with normal request 
processing in your main Rails application.

I also think I would try to skip ActiveRecord altogether for this task. 
Unless you gain significant benefit by going through ActiveRecord.

Just some things to consider. Good luck and welcome to the Rails 
community.
