I'm a bit surprised at the poor showing of Tokyo Cabinet in this test, given the amount of buzz it's gathered in the last few months, but the CDB results honestly don't surprise me in the least -- it's a special-purpose datastructure wrapped in a thin library that just smokes any other DB type if your workload allows for a complete rebuild of the database on each update.

I am a bit confused by the table. "bdb_btree 14.3/s " means 14.3 records per second? Is that the correct interpretation?
