Just a note: on my systems updatable views works fine for tables under 15MB in terms of time need to save records. On 800000records table(43MB) same view take ~10 to 25seconds to update (all the options are properly set - key field, update by key only).
I make this note to consider updating table directly using buffering instead of views
