In case anyone is still interested, I was able to improve the load considerably
by wrapping a group of 10-15 INSERTS into a single transaction. I didn't know
that each insert/query not explicitly wrapped in a transaction got it's own
transaction (and the associated overhead) by default.

Load is now back to around 0.25 or thereabouts. Traffic is growing very rapidly,
so I don't know how long it will stay at 0.25.

FYI,
Brian
