I have to improve the performance of the UPDATES and I was wondering why the UPDATEs need twice as long as the INSERTs.
IIRC, an UPDATE is a DELETE/INSERT combo. That's because the original record still needs to be visible to other existing transactions (because of MVCC). You can't change its data but need to create a new record instead and mark the original as obsolete.
