Point collection to polyline apparently is too slow please suggest

Hi *
* * * * * * * *
My ReadSHPToEdgeShapeList. function reads all the edge shape points from the table shp of the oracle schema to memeory list public List<ShpRec> EdgeShapeList, whcih is declared in my defined class say, SHP

public struct ShpRec
    {
        public int EDGEID_NUMBER;
         public int XCOORDINATE;
        public int YCOORDINATE;
        public int SEQNR;

        public ShpRec(int SR_EDGEID_NUMBER,
                      int SR_XCOORDINATE,
                      int SR_YCOORDINATE,
                      int SR_SEQNR)
        {
            EDGEID_NUMBER = SR_EDGEID_NUMBER;
             XCOORDINATE = SR_XCOORDINATE;
            YCOORDINATE = SR_YCOORDINATE;
            SEQNR = SR_SEQNR;
        }

    }

public List<ShpRec> EdgeShapeList;

So *some thing to load data from oracle table into the EdgeShapeList memory 😘 * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * SHP MyDbSHP = new SHP();
* * * * * * * * MyDbSHP.ReadSHPToEdgeShapeList();

This is OK an runs fast to load points for each edge in the list EdgeShapeList
* * * * * *

Then follwing function creates the shape file as polyline feature.

* * * * * * * * MyDbSHP.EdgeShapeListToESRI(strFolder, strName,this);

My problem is, the process runs slow : takes around 2-3 hours to convert some 2000 edges and would take two days to convert normal sized database of 50,000 edges

Is it due to that it posts to fc by pFeature.Store(), for each polyline(PointCollection) ?
Please suggest. Thanks in advance.

Details of my function EdgeShapeListToESRI is as follows :

public void EdgeShapeListToESRI(String ESLTE_Workspace, String ESLTE_FileName, Form ESLTEfrm)
            {
                try
                {
                    //init Shape Field Name
                    String strShapeFieldName = "Shape";

                    //Open the folder to contain the shapefile as a workspace
                    IWorkspaceFactory pWorkspaceFactory = new ShapefileWorkspaceFactory();
                    IFeatureWorkspace pFWS = (IFeatureWorkspace)pWorkspaceFactory.OpenFromFile(ESLTE_Workspace, 0);

                    //declare feature class interface
                    IFeatureClass pFeatClass;

                    // if_shape_file_present
                    if (File.Exists(ESLTE_Workspace + "\\" + ESLTE_FileName + ".shp"))
                    {
                        pFeatClass = pFWS.OpenFeatureClass(ESLTE_FileName);
                    }// end if_shape_file_already_present
