I have a question about InnoDB and how it would handle updates on the
order of about 3,000-5,000 a second. The UPDATEs update a single record
on a primary key. In MySQL, it does a table lock thus serializing the
updates. There are a few selects, though on a couple of orders of
magnitude less often. The table locks have the potential to cause
problems at this volume.

So to avoid the table locks, I have considered using InnoDB. However, it
syncs to disk after every UPDATE and I don't think that will work. The
disk is a RAID 10 array of 6 15K drives (3x2).

Any suggestions?
