title: How can I import .FAST files more quickly?
body: <p>I need to import a large amount of data from .fast files into a database. I have been able to do it using a fast compliant decoder that streams into an application which in turn performs bulk inserts to the database. This works, but not quick enough. Is there a way I can somehow import the data directly from the .fast files without the need for intermediary steps?</p>
