How are you measuring that?  There is a problem with your measurement
methodology, as Mark Rivers has shown. How long it actually takes to
process a record is *not* the same as how often you can trigger it to
process, since the latter depends on what method you are using to
trigger its processing.  Trying to create a very fast periodic thread is
never going to be an efficient way to make a record process very quickly.

You are likely to get more help from us here on tech-talk if you can
step back and explain what you are trying to achieve, i.e. give us the
big picture problem, not your current specific detail problem, because I
think you may be heading in the wrong direction.
