Salesforce Update REST API Throughput

[tarena]

The Salesforce REST API can update up to 200 records be POST call. The Salesforce Update snap documentation says that it's implemented to only update 1 record at a time in REST mode. The Bulk API is asynchronous, even in serial mode. 

What is the best practice in SnapLogic to maximize throughput of synchronous record updates to Salesforce.

I could implement the Salesforce REST API through the HTTP Client, but then what is the point of the Salesforce Snap Pack?

After some more experimentation, the Salesforce Poller snap keeps the pipeline open for the entire duration of the update and return individual successes and failure for each record. This is close enough to synchronous for my use cases.
