Assuming that you're updating a non-indexed field, you should really
look at migrating to 8.3 if you haven't already.  It's performance on
such issues is reportedly much faster than 8.2.

As for processing them in order versus randomly, that's a common
problem.  right sizing shared_buffers so that all of the table can fit
in ram might help too.  As would a caching RAID controller.
