We use datawindows. Datawindows will send the required DML statements to the database. And it sent in format 1 <single row update>.
IN start of the application, Autocommit set to True.
Before update of any table(s)
Autocommit is set to False
Insert/Update/Delete records
If success commit else rollback
Autocommit is set to True
This has been followed for decades and it's working fine with Sql server.
Here we are trying to insert just 10 records spread across 6 tables, which is taking more time.. that's what we feel. The similar work in SQL Server takes much less time < as if no wait is there >.

Are you doing single-row inserts like:
insert into ... values (..);
insert into ... values (..);
insert into ... values (..);
insert into ... values (..);
or are you doing multi-row inserts like this:
insert into ... values (..), (..), (..), (..);
Typically the latter will perform much better (especially if autocommit is enabled)
