Avoid annotations
Avoid or minimize the number of annotation features, because writing to these is slow. It has been improved when writing annotations with no user-defined fields.
However how to save text-features withouth this approach?
Have looked through this already: http://fmepedia.safe.com/articles/FAQ/Improving-Performance-when-working-with-Geodatabases
The number of text-features to insert is around 2 000 000.
