1) you want to reduce your memory usage within a transaction

2) a) sometimes you want to roll back to a certain point in a  
transaction.  b) sometimes you do this in a context of an assembled  
application, in which other components may want to do the same thing,  
conceivably within the execution context of one another.

transaction.commit(1) accomplished 1 and 2a.  savepoint is a common  
concept (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savepoint) that also  
accomplishes 2b.
