So after Guy's talk introduced me to postgres' hstore (thanks for that btw), I was curious to see what the performance difference between it and redis would be in serializing objects. A couple of others at the meeting expressed some interest in it and I finally got some spare time to throw together a script to get some results. So with that in mind, here's the quick script I wrote, and the results it generated.

I should likely try this again in an EC2 instance for giggles. That being said, the base key/value store is clearly faster, which was largely expected since it doesn't have to deal with any of the normal relational overhead. However that also means you don't get all that delicious relational overhead. Just thought I'd share with everyone :) -- SD Ruby mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/sdruby
