Do you have only 1 table to populate or several tables? If you have several tables, you could consider this: * put your tables in different databases; * perform the INSERT in different processes (1 per database) so tables can be populated in parallel; * wait for all processes to finish; * ATTACH all databases, so it it behaves as a single database.
