just selects. update test is also very interesting -- the only test I
did for for updates is 'update foo set x=x+1' which was a win for
btree (20-30% faster typically). perhaps this isn't algorithm induced
though -- lack of wal logging could actually hurt time to commit
because it deserializes i/o.
