SQlite.net Performance Evaluation

Hello,

I've tried to evaluate the performance of SQlite.net with the following code and db structure. Maybe someone can try it out because I only have an emulator to test it. In my opinion the execution is quite slow.

16 seconds for 1000 records to insert. Maybe I have to adjust my code to get more performance

//SqlitePerformnace Test public SqliteDBPerformanceTest(Context context) {

    //Table structure:
    //[PrimaryKey, AutoIncrement]
    //public int ID{ get; set; }
    //public string Ident{ get; set; }
    //public string Description{ get; set; }
    //public string State{ get; set; }
    //public string Lecturer{ get; set; }


        string dbPath = Path.Combine(
                            System.Environment.GetFolderPath(System.Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal),
                            "test.db");

        if (File.Exists(dbPath))
            File.Delete(dbPath);

        _connection = new SQLite.Net.SQLiteConnection(new SQLite.Net.Platform.XamarinAndroid.SQLitePlatformAndroid(), dbPath, SQLite.Net.Interop.SQLiteOpenFlags.Create | SQLite.Net.Interop.SQLiteOpenFlags.ReadWrite | SQLite.Net.Interop.SQLiteOpenFlags.SharedCache | SQLite.Net.Interop.SQLiteOpenFlags.NoMutex | SQLite.Net.Interop.SQLiteOpenFlags.ProtectionNone);
        _connection.Execute("PRAGMA synchronous = OFF");
        _connection.CreateTable<Course>();
    }

    public void Run()
    {

        SQLiteCommand cmd = _connection.CreateCommand("Insert Into courses (Ident, Description, State, Lecturer) Values(@p1, @p2, @p3, @p4)");

        DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
        _connection.BeginTransaction();
        for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
        {
            cmd.Bind("@p1", Guid.NewGuid().ToString());
            cmd.Bind("@p2", "It seems to be very slow");
            cmd.Bind("@p3", "public");
            cmd.Bind("@p4", "Kevin Tough");
            cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
        }

        _connection.Commit();

        _executionTime = DateTime.Now - now;


        List<Course> crs = _connection.Query<Course>("Select * From courses");

        this.Count = crs.Count.ToString();
    }
