Slow InnoDB performance on Insert Update on some tables after moving from MyISAM to InnoDb

I have recently moved all of my tables from MyISAM to InnoDB because I wanted to get rid of table locking on large table.

It takes alot more than expected time to run an UPDATE or INSERT query on following tables. (About 5 minutes)
How do I optimize the innoDB variables to make the INSERT and UPDATE query faster without affecting SELECT query.

ttl_mailers
1 Million rows, 17 GB in size
One auto increment primary key and 2 indexes.

ttl_activities
14 Million rows, 2.5 GB
One auto increment primary key, 6 indexes

Following are the innodb variables

Based on my learning and understanding using Transactions help reduce the time. But implementing it everywhere in application can take time. A quick solution to this can be enabling AUTO COMMIT mode to ON.

Use MySQL Transactions, it will reduce the amount of time taken by 50-60% as it won't reindex the table after running every query.

Disable the Primary keys before INSERTing data to your table. Add the index after INSERT is done. Background is that the PRIMARY KEY contrains are checked for each INSERT.

In MariaDB you can disable this, I dont know if this can be done in MySQL as well...
