I should add that it is not correct to say 'our throughput is constrained not by our consensus protocol'. A trivial example would be a workload of transactions, where each transaction has at least two non-conflicting writes on different partitions. FaunaDB will serialize those transactions, and you will bottleneck on the consensus protocol - compared to NDB.

What he's saying is that the throughput number they mention is constrained by transaction conflicts. The limit for non-conflicting transactions allowed by the consensus protocol is no doubt much higher.
