The PREPARE documentation states:[1]
Prepared statements have the largest performance advantage when
a single session is being used to execute a large number of
similar statements. The performance difference will be
particularly significant if the statements are complex to plan
or rewrite, for example, if the query involves a join of many
tables or requires the application of several rules. If the
statement is relatively simple to plan and rewrite but
relatively expensive to execute, the performance advantage of
prepared statements will be less noticeable.
Since an INSERT ... VALUES without a subselect or any applicable rules
requires very little parsing, planning, or rewriting time,
PREPARE/EXECUTE is unlikely to improve performance.
