With SQLDelight is there any way for a bulk insert beyond a for loop in a transaction?

I'm doing this

messageDao.transaction {
    newMessages
        .map { it.toDbMessage(groupId) }
        .forEach(messageDao::insertOrIgnore)
}

and with about 1000 messages its taking 200-300 ms (on an emulator). i imagine a real device might be slightly faster but not an order of magnitude faster. Is there anything else I can do to speed this up?

Table:

CREATE TABLE Message (
  groupId INTEGER NOT NULL,
  messageId INTEGER NOT NULL,
  sender TEXT NOT NULL,
  message TEXT NOT NULL,
  timestamp TEXT NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (groupId, messageId)
);

`insertOrIgnore`:

insertOrIgnore:
INSERT OR IGNORE INTO Message
    VALUES ?;

Not really, afaik. But you’re doing it right by wrapping in a transaction
