Keyboard macros are great and all, but I wouldn't recommend repeating
it more than a few hundred times. They are slow and sensitive to
external conditions. If your use case requires a repetition of a
thousand or more times, I would recommend `eval' (M-:) or an elisp
function. I have gone down the keyboard macro route once and regretted
it with a large file (~10,000 lines long).
