change to
"Heap-Only Tuples (HOT) improve performance of frequent UPDATEs"
I used the original text because it tries to explain _how_ HOT improves
performance. The item that has the descriptive text explains how the
space reuse works. A generic "improve performance" doesn't seem like an
improvement.
I still think this needs to be qualified either way. As it stands it's
quite misleading. Many update scenarios will not benefit one whit from
HOT updates.
Doesn't the detail description qualify it enought? The heading isn't
suppose to have all the information or it would be unreadable.
If you don't want to be more specific I'd say "certain updates" or "some
updates" or something similar, just some flag to say it's not all of them.
