What the the average number of statements per transaction?  if avg > 2
then you could save a small amount of time by lowering the limit.

You might also save some time by using FOR UPDATE on the select since
the next thing you're going to do is update the value.

Have you explained this to make sure it's using the created index?  You
might need to order by both transaction_id, id.
