Hi Guys - thanks to all for the responses.

I think the link Eddy posted puts a lot into perspective, in that closing the connection does not really kill it, it leaves it in the pool, and unless there is something in the connection that changes, like accessing a different database, or using a different User ID the same connection from that pool is used again.

I tried inserting 10000 records (on server on local machine) in three different ways.

The difference was only about 100ms

C#
private void cmdInsert_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Stopwatch sw = new Stopwatch();
            string cnStr = "Data Source=" + Server + ";Initial Catalog=" + Database + ";User Id=" + DBUser + "; Password=" + DBPass + ";";
            string strSql = "Insert INTO dbo.SpeedTest (Mydata) VALUES ('Hello')";
            sw.Start();
            using (System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection cn = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(cnStr)) 
            {

                System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand cmd = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand(strSql, cn);
                
		for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++)
                {
                    cn.Open();
                    cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
                    cn.Close();
                }
            }

            sw.Stop();
            this.txtResults.Text = sw.ElapsedMilliseconds.ToString();
                      
        }

                }
                cn.Close();
            }
