It would depend on the frequency with which the same query is
issued.  Bulk inserts, followed by the query, followed by cleaning up
the data would almost certainly be slower.  Bulk inserting the data
and then issuing thousands of queries against it could prove much
faster (though as with all things performance-related, test, don't
guess). But if the set of criteria changes frequently, the overhead
of inserting/deleting the data will almost certainly swamp any
potential speed-up.
