Wow, that is very impressive. I look forward to seeing 5.7 hit GA (although as ck2 points out, that's probably some time from now). I'd like to see how 5.7 affects our framework benchmarks [1] since the highest rate we observe in our project with 5.5 is ~145,000 per second by cpoll-cppsp when running 20 read queries per request (7,252 rps). Our project is obviously not a database benchmark—it's a web framework benchmark—but nevertheless I am interested in whether a significantly quicker database platform would yield notably higher performance on that test type. (Many other variables differ of course. The queries we are running are presumably much simpler and our hardware is much smaller.)
