如何使用Swift在Realm中插入许多记录？

Question

I am trying to perform a massive insertion of data in Realm, but it is making it very slow.

This is my code:

let realm = try! Realm()


let group = GroupRealm()

group.id = 1
group.name = "test"

try! realm.write { 
    realm.add(group)
}

var product = [String:AnyObject]()
product["id"] = "" as AnyObject!
product["code"] = ("") as AnyObject!
product["detail"] = ("") as AnyObject!
product["onHand"] = (0) as AnyObject!
product["price"] = (0) as AnyObject!
product["isSerialized"] = (0) as AnyObject!
product["isLotNumber"] = (0) as AnyObject!

var groupProduct = [String:AnyObject]()
groupProduct["group"] = group as AnyObject!

for r in 0..<300 {
    realm.beginWrite()
    for i in 0..<100 {
        product["id"] = "\(i)-\(r)" as AnyObject!
        realm.create(ProductRealm.self, value: product, update: true)

        groupProduct["id"] = "\(i)-\(r)" as AnyObject!
        groupProduct["product"] = product as AnyObject!
        realm.create(GroupProductRealm.self, value: groupProduct, update: true)
    }
    try! realm.commitWrite()
}

Objects:

class ProductRealm: Object {
    public dynamic var id: String = ""
    public dynamic var code: String = ""
    public dynamic var detail: String = ""
    public dynamic var onHand: Int = 0
    public dynamic var price: Double = 0
    public dynamic var isSerialized: Int = 0
    public dynamic var isLotNumber: Int = 0
    override static func primaryKey() -> String? {
        return "id"
    }
}

class GroupProductRealm: Object {
    public dynamic var id = ""
    public dynamic var group: GroupRealm!
    public dynamic var product: ProductRealm!
    override static func primaryKey() -> String? {
        return "id"
    }
}
class GroupRealm: Object {
    public dynamic var id = 1
    public dynamic var name = ""
    public dynamic var update = Date()
    override static func primaryKey() -> String? {
        return "id"
    }
}

The tests on my iphone 5s to insert 30000 records are delayed for more than 30 seconds, whereas in an old project I have with sqlite it takes about 16 seconds.

I have read that realm is much faster in this than sqlite so I know it is an error of mine, but I do not give with the D:

Sorry for my English.

My level of English is not very high, so I will publish the code with the comments in Spanish, if someone can modify it to be in English I would appreciate it.
