Can insert performance be improved by rebuilding indexes?

I was under the impression that index drop/disable is the way to improve insert performance. but i haven't heard about it until our developer said so.

has anybody heard/tried about it?

Possibly & it may depend upon mitigating factors.

Some improvement on INSERT after DROP/DISABLE, not always measurably true.

>has anybody heard/tried about it?
Urban legend.

When anyone makes such claims, ask for reproducible test case that provides definitive proof.

Most likely it will worsen them.
Rebuild purpose is to improve (range) select performances not DML.
