Nice to see. I played with LevelDB a while ago, and performance seemed great as long as you didn't want any kind of durability . . . but of course you would in real life, and as soon as you start forcing things to disk LevelDB's performance dropped to levels that were beatable by any number of alternatives with fewer dependencies. To say I was unimpressed would be an understatement. It's good to see someone bringing it to where it should have been already.

What alternatives did you test that performed better than LevelDB?
