I know what you mean.

Unfortunately, any datapump component will do the import one record at
a time. And, yes it's going to be slow, but what I found is that it's
the connection with MS Access via ADO that slows down the process. If
there would be a better/faster way to import data from an MS Access
DB, I'd probably be using it, unless I didn't hear about it.
