上面代码分别使用了orm， orm带主键，orm的bulk_save_objects, orm的bulk_insert_mappings, 非orm形式，原生的dbapi方式；插入10000条记录的结果如下：

SQLAlchemy ORM: Total time for 100000 records 7.2070479393 secs
SQLAlchemy ORM pk given: Total time for 100000 records 4.28471207619 secs
SQLAlchemy ORM bulk_save_objects(): Total time for 100000 records 1.58296084404 secs
SQLAlchemy ORM bulk_insert_mappings(): Total time for 100000 records 0.453973054886 secs
SQLAlchemy Core: Total time for 100000 records 0.210998058319 secs
sqlite3: Total time for 100000 records 0.136252880096 sec

注意：

这里只有第一、二种方式可以拿到插入记录的id，其它都不能直接拿到，需要自己再查询一次。
