Are you sure about your data on the mutation rates? I know that the actual rate of mutation is fairly high on a cellular level, but that is not the same thing as the rate of inheritable mutations which is not the same as the rate of viable mutations which is not the same as the rate of beneficial mutations. Do you have some lit on it, I would be interested in reading up on the subject some more.
See Part 2 (Chapters 6 and 7 especially) in Evolution.
