There's an obvious tradeoff. With a 4K page size, the breakeven point is around 768 bytes per record. For larger records, the WAL approach is less efficient than LMDB. For smaller records, the WAL is more efficient in terms of write amplification. All thoroughly explored here http://www.lmdb.tech/bench/ondisk/ http://www.lmdb.tech/bench/ondisk/
