Since this is a temp table... You can create it as a Multi Set table instead of a SET table and it will run faster because it will not have to check for duplication.

The problem that you run into when inserting millions of rows into a SET table is... as it gets bigger, there are more rows to recheck for duplicates.

If you find that you must create the temp table as a SET table and it starts as and empty table, then you can load it using a FastLoad.

Insert/Select is a great way to insert data into tables but can be very slow if you have large data volumes.
