The project is just getting going so there are still some features yet to be implemented before it will compete directly with other DBs feature for feature. (e.g. it only does a couple types of JOIN operations so far). The key-value stores I created were actually invented to be used as tags for the object store I created to compete with conventional file systems. It wasn't until I discovered how fast the tags worked before I decided to benchmark them against popular DBs like PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, or MySQL. When I discovered that queries against the same data sets were about 4-10x faster on my system, I turned my focus to the DB features. As you pointed out, there is still a lot of work to be done on the marketing and sales side if this is going to be a successful startup. I haven't done much benchmarking on insertion speed. I can insert CSV or Json files at about 100K rows per second, but I have not done a direct comparison against row oriented systems for that.
