Recovery on the system restart is going at the speed of hard disk.

Can you pin how much data from a table can be placed into memory, or does the whole table need to be placed in memory? I can see settings that limit the transaction log memory usage, but no way of reducing the actual amount of data in-memory.

The whole table has to fit in memory. RAM is getting very cheap, you can buy 1Tb for 12K today.

But for anyone who is renting the server, it's $$$$ monthly for a fraction of that.

Recovery on the system restart is going at the "sequential scan" speed of hard disk.

The "sequential scan" speed of a generic SSD is pretty good. It's even better on something like FusionIO.
