Kudos for bring write on that one. I'm wouldnot have guessed it was mySQL. I'm slightly less surprised because it apparently bypasses the SQL optimization engine and goes straight to InnoDB (per the other post). I have seen people write key-value stores based on MySQL+InnoDB before (sometimes bypassing SQL entirely).
