I tried LevelDB with high hopes, but it is ungodly slow. The claims did not line up with reality in any way.

This is very different to LevelDB. But LevelDB's claims are actually valid, provided your dataset is not massive, and you understand how your workload interacts with its compaction and write amplification. This paper presents a form of LSM-tree which solves both those issues (massive dataset, low write amplification).
