Magento programmatically add product image

I have to create a simple Magento 1.6.x import agent that suppose to create/update products and their images. Could someone advise me how to add product image without having to use the magento API?

The api performance turned out to be very poor and I am starting to be a little frustrated.. :-(

I have found some other questions regarding this problem, but none of them concerns with adding images to the product.

This is what I came with:

$product->setIsMassupdate(true)
    ->setExcludeUrlRewrite(true)
    ->setManufacturer($this->addManufacturers(utf8_encode($record[4])))
    ->setSku($record[3])
    ->setAttributeSetId($this->attribute_set)# 9 is for default
    ->setTypeId(Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Type::TYPE_SIMPLE)
    ->setName(utf8_encode($record[5]))
    ->setCategoryIds($this->getCategories(array($record[0], $record[1], $record[2]))) # some cat id's,
    ->setWebsiteIDs(array(1)) # Website id, 1 is default
    ->setDescription(utf8_encode($record[6]))
    ->setShortDescription($this->shortText(utf8_encode($record[6]), 150))
    ->setPrice($price) # Set some price
    ->setSpecialPrice($special_price)
    ->setWeight($record[12])
    ->setStatus( Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Status::STATUS_ENABLED )
    ->setVisibility(Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Visibility::VISIBILITY_BOTH)
    ->setTaxClassId(2)     // default tax class
    ->setPixmaniaimg($record[10])
    ->setStockData(array('is_in_stock' => $inStock, 'qty' => $qty))
    ->setCreatedAt(strtotime('now'));

Can someone help me with adding images directly without the API?

Thanks
