I expect it to be faster but it is also possible that maybe in your specific collection and execution scenario it somehow perform worst, or at least not the same as in my benchmarks, I'm not sure.

The ~4x mentioned speed up is based on the tests for Hetzner CAX41 with the CGO driver when creating 50k records with 500 concurrent clients:

New (13.580098262s): https://github.com/pocketbase/benchmarks/blob/7df0466ac9bd62...

Edit: Based on your benchmarks repo (https://github.com/trailbaseio/trailbase-benchmark/tree/main...) note that compiling PocketBase with `CGO_ENABLED=1` is no longer enough to kick in the github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 driver and you need to enable it manually as shown in the db_cgo.go in our benchmarks OR like in https://pocketbase.io/docs/go-overview/#github-commattngo-sq... (the reason for this change was to avoid the "multiple definition" linker errors).

FWIW, I did this locally (also happy to fork PB and check it in, certainly aids transparency). I've already updated the numbers in the benchmark doc but will continue to try squeeze more out of it.

As to 4x, my concurrency levels are significantly lower which could certainly explain it. Is PB juggling multiple connections increasing write lock congestion or are you serializing access, e.g. via a worker thread? Also happy to chat more (feel free to send me an email), I certainly want PB to have the best possible representation and maybe we can even speed things up on both sides

Yes I noticed that too so that it is very likely the reason.

In all cases my initial comment wasn't intended to "dispute", argue or anything like that, so please don't feel obligated to waste time updating the benchmarks. They are valid as they are!

My initial comment was more of a note/suggestion to simply list the used versions of the tested platforms (not just for PocketBase) because often they change over time and the shown results could be misleading if someone stumble on the article 2 years later for example.

FWIW, it never felt like a dispute and very much agree with your suggestion. I'm also just trying to do a decent enough job, both with the benchmarks and TrailBase itself. Either way, my offer to keep an open channel stands in case you want to share experiences or are in desperate need for a beverage :)
