Hi,

I have noticed that NH doesn't batch up updates as effectively as it could 
(and does on inserts). Specifically when the entity graph hits a level such 
as "parent -> child collection -> child", NHibernate will issue updates 
like:
  Parent 1
    -> Batch updates on Parent 1's children
    -> Batch updates on Parent 1's children children
  Parent 2
    -> Batch updates on Parent 2's children
    -> Batch updates on Parent 2's  children children
  Parent 3
    -> Batch updates on Parent 3's children
    -> Batch updates on Parent 3's  children children


The system I am currently working on ends up performing actions on multiple 
items (for example pricing 50 pieces of stock), which can result  in 100 
queries to the database.
Without wanting to argue the use of nhibernate for this kind of operation, 
I have noticed a property called "IsOrderUpdatesEnabled" on the session 
class which is never set. Altering the configuration classes to allow this 
to be set results in a big improvement with batching such operations. The 
updates now issue like:

  Batch updates on all Parents
  Batch updates on all Parent's children
  Batch updates on all Parent's childrens children

i.e. 3 queries instead of, in this scenario with 3 top level entities, 9.

My question is, is there a reason why this property is not set from the 
SettingsFactory class, and if not, would anyone be interested in a PR to 
allow it to be set? Or have I overlooked some way to set it!

I haven't come across any issues when running locally with it switched on.

Thanks,

Graeme
