That's a fair point. I've updated the post to read, "That translates to thousands of requests per second per core" instead of saying it's linear scaling. Thanks for the feedback!

That’s nice. But I didn’t really take it literally.
Do you have some benchmark results by any chance? Although it’s a bit of a can of worms, and I would understand if you didn’t want to get into it at this time.

I've only done some light benchmarking so far. I had it running on a two-core DigitalOcean machine with sustained write load to test for race bugs and it was replicating 1K+ writes per second. But honestly I haven't even tried optimizing the code yet. I'm mainly focused on correctness right now. I would bet it could get a lot faster.
