Just confirming, if i'm batch inserting using the ORM ill have to use a foreach() loop for the $model->save() process right?

$batch = array();

foreach(Input::post('threads') as $threads)
{
    $thread = new Model_Thread(array(
        'title'  => $threads['title'],
        'cat'    => $threads['cat'],
        'date'   => time(),
    ));

    //related models

    $batch[]    = $thread;
}


foreach($batch as $thread)
{ 
    $thread->save()
}

Yes, the ORM is made for object interaction. Don't try to force all database I/O through an ORM model. In some cases it's a lot more efficient to simply use DB calls. If you insist, then yes, you'll have to create ORM model objects in a loop, and save them one at the time.

Thanks, in this case its not really a batch like 100+ or something, just 2-3 for updating a bunch of threads or posts. So that's why i'm using the ORM. Thanks again.
