The leveldb page shows mixed results wrt sqlite3 - I would say that it is generally faster that sqlite3 based on the results. There is no comparison to sqlite4. Most notably in large value operations, and also slightly in random reads, sqli

Variation on a theme: implement Stockfish in NACL, or, if Stockfish is too hard to port, a simpler though strong program like Fruit. Then, you can essentially isolate out one of the variables, the strength of the "node", or client, engine,

To me this is all nice and straightforward except for the merge i.e. when does it happen? Magically in the background or only at restart. In either case then the question is how does this affect the responsiveness of the system. This paper
