Knee-jerk reaction: this is a strange/unfair comparison of two datastores. Slightly more considered reaction: ok, this is a microbenchmark comparison across two different datastores. Acceptance: sure, in scenarios where request volume is particularly large and/or performance constraints are tight, this could be valuable to refer to. Reflection: benchmarking and time spent evaluating technical systems: how much work do we (as an industry) collectively duplicate reacting to articles, systems and concepts that we haven't put in the work to read and understand? And do we learn effectively after-the-fact?
