FaunaDB is faster in an unclustered, unreplicated configuration too, but that's not what FaunaDB is really for.

We should track disk IOPS, though, so you can do an apples-to-apples comparison of how much low-level throughput the database is driving. I believe the instance store disks in the EC2 C3 hardware class can support about ~20K write IOPS each.
