There is a BATCHSIZE parameter to BULKINSERT.  Does anyone know the effects
(speed-wise) when using this parameter?  What is a reasonable value for this
parameter?  I did not use a BATCHSIZE in the first file imported, but I set
a batchsize =10000 (10K) for the next file.  These import files can be
anywhere from a couple of hundred thousand records up to 4 million records.
