Performance: Importing Items

Question

Hi,
I have a custom database, which has the information about items. I need to get the data from that database (perform some transformations) and create new items in SAP.
I'm using DI API, and it takes me around 3-4 seconds to create each item. (I have done the optimizations possible by me.)
I wonder whether I can interface with DTW, to create the necessary excel sheet programmatically, and automatically launch the DTW to import the items.
Do you have any idea how to do that ?
What is the command line arguments we need to pass to DTW?
Thank you so much.

Hi,
Actually I checked the performance of different segments of code.
And I found out that, for adding items it does not take that much time, but, when adding items I need to add goods receipt (to add an item to the inventory), and that's what is the bottleneck.
Please let me know your inputs, whether there is any way I can improve the performance of it/ is there any other alternative  for it?
Thank you so much...
I use the following function to add GR for every item:
Private Sub AddGoodsReceiptInventory(ByVal strItemCode As String)
        Dim OIGN As SAPbobsCOM.Documents
        OIGN = objSbo.oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oInventoryGenEntry)
        OIGN.Lines.ItemCode = strItemCode
        OIGN.Lines.Quantity = 1
        OIGN.Lines.WarehouseCode = strWH
        If OIGN.Add() <> 0 Then
        End If
End Sub
