Do a simple test to see my point:

1. create table test (id int4, aaa int4, primary key (id));
2. insert into test values (0,1);
3. Execute "update test set aaa=1 where id=0;" in an endless loop

I just did the test on PostgreSQL 7.4.12 and MySQL 5.0.22 (MyISAM,
sorry had no configured InnoDB). Ubuntu 6.0.6, AMD64, 2GB, default
database settings.

MySQL performs very well, approximately 15000-20000 updates per second
with no degradation of performance.


Just a follow up: if you base your choice of DBMS on this test, you have to chose HSQLDB. I just ran this test on my WinXP AMD64 box, and it performed constantly at ~40000 updates per second.
