Entity structure persists for a long time

There are many EF articles on EF, but I have looked through them and used their answers and still seem to be getting very slow results.

My code looks like this:

using (MarketingEntities1 db = new MarketingEntities1())
        {
            //using (var trans = db.Database.BeginTransaction(IsolationLevel.ReadUncommitted))
            //{
                int count = 0;
                db.Configuration.AutoDetectChangesEnabled = false;
                db.Configuration.ValidateOnSaveEnabled = false;
                while (count < ranges.Count)
                {
                    if (bgw != null)
                    {
                        bgw.ReportProgress(0, "Saving count: " + count.ToString());
                    }
                    db.Set<xGeoIPRanx>().AddRange(ranges.Skip(count).Take(BATCHCOUNT));
                    db.SaveChanges();
                    count+=BATCHCOUNT;

                }
                //trans.Commit();
            //}
        }

      

        
        
        
      

    

Each batch takes 30 seconds. BatchCount is 1000. I know EF is not that slow. You can see that I stopped using the transaction, I tracked it down, none of this helped.

Additional Information:

xGeoIpRanx is an empty table with no PK (I'm not sure how much this helps). I am trying to insert about 10 mil.

Edit:

I feel stupid but I am trying to use bulkInsert and I keep getting this object, no error exists, I am looking at this code

using (var ctx = GetContext())
{
  using (var transactionScope = new TransactionScope())
  {
    // some stuff in dbcontext

    ctx.BulkInsert(entities);

    ctx.SaveChanges();
    transactionScope.Complete();
  }
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

What are "entities" I tried a list of my objects that don't work, what datatype?

nvm works as expected, it was a strange error due to the way I created the edmx file
