Hello,

So I have this massive array 10k+ items in it  
b  
=\>[“aaa”,“aab”,…,“aba”,“abb”,…“zza”,“zzb”,“zzc”,…,“zzz”]

I need to save them in the Bakery model  
I tried to do  
Bakery.find(1)  
=\>{:id=\>1, :name =\> “afe”}

b.each do |x|  
Bakery.new do |b|  
b.name = x  
end  
end

I know my home computer can’t really beat a server grade machine, but  
it still took nearly a minute to process. Is there anyway that this  
can be faster?

Thanks!

Oops, I mean  
b.each do |x|  
Bakery.new do |y|  
y.name = x  
end  
end
