Also, this quote seems pretty illogical to me: """ For example, the PostgreSQL speeds depend on the Django ORM code that makes the SQL and sends the query and then turns it into the model instance. I don't know what the proportions are between that and the actual bytes-from-PG's-disk times. But I'm not sure I care either. The tooling around the database is inevitable mostly and it's what matters to users. """ I'd say it's pretty important to know what proportion is taken up by the ORM when comparing the speed of two DBs. It's not clear to me from the article if the redis implementation even uses an ORM.
