Well, I would say that you don't want too many table scans on heavily
updated tables if you don't want too many serialization failures.  Keep
in
mind that the SIREAD locks would not block anything.  A dangerous
structure,
involving two adjacent rw dependencies, must be found before anything is
rolled back.
