    It may be better to have a different index as the clustered index - obviously this might hurt performance elsewhere so it would require testing and a lot more info re data - but e.g. if you could cluster on say a user identifier column in the table then the contention for the clustered index page would only be against the same user's inserts.

    If you decide to do that, pick a nice low FILL FACTOR or the page splits will be even more painfull than the hot spot.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
