It may not be solvable. Some issues to consider:
* Slave hardware should be at least as powerful as master.
* Slave executes the replication stream single-threaded, unlike the master.
* Row-based-replication may help
* When there are long-running queries Seconds_Behind_Master lies, but you say it is
consistently > 300 sec?
* Check settings of key_buffer_size, innodb_buffer_pool_size and RAM. (Show us the values
on master and slave, we will critique)
* If possible "batch" INSERTs; this will speed things up greatly. INSERT ... (a,b) VALUES
(1,2), (22,33), ...;
