Does your process hang or simply is too long? Perhaps the limiting factor is
not the writing speed, but a memory requirement problem.
Try to compute how long it should take:
- do your row processing after a SELECT ... LIMIT 1000 clause
- time how long it takes, and extrapolate

Why not use a counter, that you increment at every mysql_fetch_array() and
