Posting Notes is Slow

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Using /api/write to write notes is very slow.  Writing even 5 notes to a local 
Person Finder instance can take two or three seconds.  This is very annoying 
when writing the 5000 notes that compose the test data set.  

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Go to http://pfif-tools.appspot.com/client_test
2.  Fill out Write Records URL.  Make sure that Max Records to Post is low or 
PFIF Tools will time out. Put a -1 in First Person and -2 in Last Person to 
disable generating and sending any persons.  Make sure that Add Test Data to 
your Repo is checked.
3.  Click Test Client-Repo Interoperability.  Observe the slowness.

I expect this process to take several milliseconds.  Person Finder can add 
hundreds of notes without any problem.

To test it without network issues complicating everything, it would probably be 
easiest to run PFIF Tools and Person Finder locally.

Need to verify if this still repros.

I haven't worked on Person Finder stuff in a couple of years.  The steps 
described above should still work, though, to determine if it's still an issue. 
 Are you having any trouble?
