I would try to use the bulk load facility of MySQL instead of sending single INSERT statements. Usually, bulk load is much much faster than sending single INSERT statements. Maybe the INSERT DELAYED is already fast enough, alternatively, the LOAD DATA INFILE syntax is what I'd aim for.

All of this advice comes from https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/optimizing-myisam-bulk-data-loading.html and https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/optimizing-innodb-bulk-data-loading.html.
