The 50/50 mix of inserts and updates suggests to me that you should try InnoDB. It'll cache the updates itself, probably reducing the number of disk writes involved substantially.

The high update rate means the query cache probably can't help and you can get a small speed improvement by turning it off.

At 5,000 updates per second you'd need a write caching disk controller with InnoDB to keep up with the fsync rate. Can dodge it if you can combine multiple updates (say 200 to 500) into a single transaction. Inserting with multiple connections instead of one would also help.
