LevelDB holds neither a read performance advantage in any scenerio over common alternatives (LSM reads fundamentally require extra work by design), or a write performance advantage for anything but very short benchmark-friendly bursts. In the meantime its worst-case performance characteristics are orders of magnitude worse than just about any alternative. (Keep clicking "more" in my comment history for detail)
