The benchmark doesn't accurately represent the real-world database performance because the dataset is too small (roughly half a gigabyte based on [1]?), meaning it fits into the page cache bypassing disk I/O.

This is a cool effort but their claims are wildly misleading as their benchmarks aren't fair across the board:

For example:

- BenchmarkVoidPut runs a single O(n) sized transaction

- BenchmarkLMDBPut runs a single O(n) sized transaction

- BenchmarkBadgetPut runs O(n) O(n) sized transactions (!!!)

I made a local change so that all Put benchmarks ran O(n) O(1) sized transactions and the results were quite different: Void was the slowest, followed by LMDB, Bold, LevelDB, then Badger.

I'd also wager the LMDB author would also (lovingly!) tell us we're holding it wrong

LMDB is the only one here in C, so the interop is probably what makes LMDB so slow in here
