The problem is that I need to be first convinced it’s worth bothering with (though you won’t convince me personally, because I don’t have any need for a better-performing DB and I’m lazy). But if my theory is right, you’ll have a lot more success getting people to test it if you resolve the other items. Which I think you could do in probably two paragraphs on the site. Even if I could convince myself that it’s faster, I still wouldn’t be comfortable with it if I couldn’t explain, even at a high level, why it’s faster. And I would never assume it’s faster for anything except exactly what I tested (which inevitably is only somewhat representative of what I actually use it for)
