You'd be surprised, then.  We're still horribly, horribly lock-bound on 
TPC-E; on anything over 4 cores lock resolution chokes us to death.  See 
Jignesh's and Paul's various posts about attempts to fix this.

Without resolving the locking issues, HOT and checkpoint doesn't have 
much effect on TPCE.
