Using "noatime" mount-flag to improve performance ?

I've recently come across references to setting the "noatime" attribute to improve performance of a Database server because Unix does not then need to update the "last-access time" for each file.

e.g. the Oracle for Linux tuning paper at http://otn.oracle.com/oramag/webcolumns/2002/techarticles/scalzo_linux01.html also mentions this.

Has anyone used this on Unix [Solaris/AIX/HPUX/Tru64] servers ?
