Loading the data, including parsing the xml and converting it to json was about 50,000 records per hour on a c1.medium aws instance.

Just transforming the data from one json format to another and loading to a new couchdb is much faster - about 200,000 records per hour. The server does trip over sometimes on the bulk load, and requires a restart. This happens once every 600-700k records

Reading the data is extremely quick, While creating the views on an existing database is slow, once created, accessing the data is very fast using the keys in the views
