Inserts will make the database update any secondary indexes which will make the inserts slower</li> <li>what size is the data being inserted? have you checked to see if the network is not acting as a bottleneck for this activity?</li> <li>what &#39;updates&#39; do the users need to see after the insert? If there is nothing different (other than perhaps the Primary Key being generated) you do not need to &#39;refresh&#39; the data from the database after the insert because it will effectively be identical</li> </ul><div style="clear:both;"></div>
