The advise Eric gave you to this is the best you can probably do. Turning autocommit on or off will not really have an affect on performance. Each record inserted ultimately has to be committed.

What dropping indexes prior to inserting does will certainly increase performance. If you do not, then the indexes get updated after each insert as opposed to once if re-created after the data loading is complete.
