Hi Jan,
That is a really interesting experiment. I was trying to benchmark
_all_docs recently and I've noticed is that it will stream the results, so
it returns the header and the start of the body before its done any actual
work. I'm not 100% sure if that is the case when `key=` is used. You might
have to adjust your benchmark to check for the first `{` to signify the
start of a document.
Cheers
Garren
