Probably be quite a bit quicker with psyco.  Psyco is generally quite a 
bit quicker for looping things like this. 

Is there no batch interface for creating connections?  Something where 
you pass it an array of your required connections, then let it fly.  
Batching apis are good for things like this where function call, and 
function setup are so large.
