Additional Information

It is slow because the cursor requires pulling each record from the service, modify it, then send the record back to the service. The recommended way to update records is to use the CalculateField function with the expression_type set to 'SQL'. This means the updating of the records happens within the server side (the SQL is applied in the database) which will be significantly faster.
