Perhaps as part of building out a local infrastructure to 
permit building a history of offered CC's, to detect naiive 
'carder' efforts?

Also a 'batch' import should run to completion as quickly as 
possible, and the check 'slows' things to some degree that can 
be found in 'postprocessing'.  With very large database dump 
and restore operations, it is not uncommon to turn off 
incremental index refreshing, and then to do it once in a post 
process to pay a O(N^2) process cost one time, rather than 
paying that O(N^2) process, N-1 times.
