I'm looking for the fastest way to load bulk data via c#. I have this script that does the job but slow. I read testimonies that SqlBulkCopy is the fastest.
1000 records 2.5 seconds. files contain anywhere near 5000 records to 250k What are some of the things that can slow it down?

Table Def:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tempDispositions](
    [QuotaGroup] [varchar](100) NULL,
    [Country] [varchar](50) NULL,
    [ServiceGroup] [varchar](50) NULL,
    [Language] [varchar](50) NULL,
    [ContactChannel] [varchar](10) NULL,
    [TrackingID] [varchar](20) NULL,
    [CaseClosedDate] [varchar](25) NULL,
    [MSFTRep] [varchar](50) NULL,
    [CustEmail] [varchar](100) NULL,
    [CustPhone] [varchar](100) NULL,
    [CustomerName] [nvarchar](100) NULL,
    [ProductFamily] [varchar](35) NULL,
    [ProductSubType] [varchar](255) NULL,
    [CandidateReceivedDate] [varchar](25) NULL,
    [SurveyMode] [varchar](1) NULL,
    [SurveyWaveStartDate] [varchar](25) NULL,
    [SurveyInvitationDate] [varchar](25) NULL,
    [SurveyReminderDate] [varchar](25) NULL,
    [SurveyCompleteDate] [varchar](25) NULL,
    [OptOutDate] [varchar](25) NULL,
    [SurveyWaveEndDate] [varchar](25) NULL,
    [DispositionCode] [varchar](5) NULL,
    [SurveyName] [varchar](20) NULL,
    [SurveyVendor] [varchar](20) NULL,
    [BusinessUnitName] [varchar](25) NULL,
    [UploadId] [int] NULL,
    [LineNumber] [int] NULL,
    [BusinessUnitSubgroup] [varchar](25) NULL,
    [FileDate] [datetime] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]

and here's the code

    private void BulkLoadContent(DataTable dt)
    {
        OnMessage("Bulk loading records to temp table");
        OnSubMessage("Bulk Load Started");
        using (SqlBulkCopy bcp = new SqlBulkCopy(conn))
        {
            bcp.DestinationTableName = "dbo.tempDispositions";
            bcp.BulkCopyTimeout = 0;
            foreach (DataColumn dc in dt.Columns)
            {
                bcp.ColumnMappings.Add(dc.ColumnName, dc.ColumnName);
            }
            bcp.NotifyAfter = 2000;
            bcp.SqlRowsCopied += new SqlRowsCopiedEventHandler(bcp_SqlRowsCopied);
            bcp.WriteToServer(dt);
            bcp.Close();
        }
    }
