Note that your DB server will have to "serialize" your inserts, so
unless there is some other reason for the threads, a single thread
through a single connection to the DB is the way to go.  Of course
it may be clever enough to behave "as if" they are serialized, but
mostly of your work parallelizing at your end simply creates new
work at the DB server end.
