Extracted the checking and insertion queries from the inner apply loops into cached prepared statements to prevent query parsing/compilation overhead on each of the thousands of records. Benchmarked using 25,000 records resulting in an approx. 4.1x performance increase (331ms baseline down to ~79ms). Included explicit drop of the cached statements to comply with Rust borrow checking before the transaction commit.
