The choice for log graphs here probably wasn't necessary and seems to have hurt more than it helped. Despite looking relatively similar, memcached performed 3x faster than redis on some benchmarks whilst appearing only slightly above average.

Otherwise, very thorough and well done benchmark from the looks of it. Redis my beloved not holding up so well against some others these days it looks like.



I wouldn't have even noticed if I hadn't seen this comment. Definitely necessary to change to linear scale.

Also, while I appreciate the thoroughness, I think it would be very useful to reduce the number of graphs significantly. Maybe 10x fewer. Just present the key ones that tell the story, and put the rest in another folder.


Thanks for the feedback. I updated the graphs to use linear scale by default. Log scale is still available, which is useful for latency viewing. Also only included the summarized graphs on the README. All graphs are moved into a separate file.


Nice, way clearer in my opinion. Thanks!


Agreed, it'd be nice to see the graphs with a linear scale.
