title: Laravel: MASSIVE updateOrCreate()
body: <p>I am trying to export data (nightly) out of an archaic system into something that's a little bit easier to write code for; however, the amount of data being exported is MASSIVE.</p>
  
  <p>I am dumping the data as JSON objects and then trying to <em>updateOrCreate()</em> using Laravel, but I have way too much data. It usually takes about 10 hours to process all of the data into the <strong>2.5 MILLION</strong> MySQL rows.</p>
  
  <p>I think it is slow because it is actually performing 5 MILLION queries.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know of any good example on how efficiently execute a MASSIVE <em>updateOrCreate()</em> using Laravel?</p>
