We have 425M rows, total table size is 78GB, so we can imagine a worst case
UPDATE write is less than 200 bytes * number of rows specified in the update
(is that logic correct?).
Inerestingly, the total index size is 148GB, twice that of the table, which
may be an indication of where the performance bottleneck is.
