I'm putting together a system where the operation mix is likely to be
>95% update, <5% select on primary key.

I'm used to performance tuning on a select-heavy database, but this
will have a very different impact on the system. Does anyone have any
experience with an update heavy system, and have any performance hints
or hardware suggestions?

Cheers,
  Steve
