title: iOS CoreData batch insert?
body: <p>In my iPhone application, i need to insert ~2000 records into Core Data before the user can use any features of the application.  I am loading the records into CoreData from a local JSON file.  This process is taking a long time(2.5+ minutes), but only needs to happen once(or every ~10 application opens to get updated data).</p>
  
  <p>Is there a batch insert for Core Data?  How can i speed up this insert process?</p>
  
  <p>If i can't speed it up using Core Data, what are the other recommended options?</p>
