Does it even make a dent in the performance if a query
is wrapped in a transaction instead of out? Such as a
view counter, like...

update views = views + 1 where x = 1;?

It's not in general possible to have part of your database under transactional control and part not.

For example, what happens in your update if there are two processes incrementing the view counter - A is in a transaction, B is not.
  A begins transaction
  A increments view count
  B increments view count
  A rolls back transaction

What should happen here?
