how to insert data quickly to sqlite database

I have a XML file where the data is written and I want to add it to a database the file has 180000 entries.and takes one day in save that data  I want do it quick, there are another way to do it, I'm using the foreach statement to parse and add to the database. And i wonder if one background task will solve the performance of the form, also want add a dialog what's says the line what is recorded  and add a stop or pause button for continue late if there's no way to do it quickly

Thanks
