DataMapper is about 60% faster overall than ActiveRecord, and as much as 20x faster in a few key benchmarks at the moment: http://is.gd/3xwR

In fact we, the core DM contributors, have spent very little time optimizing the library. Up until now we've been mostly focused on creating a clean API, and keeping the internals simplified. I would expect the gap to widen much further once the API stabilizes, and the spec coverage gets nearer 100% (it was in the low 90's last I checked).

Do you attribute the performance to the implementation language or the different design pattern / approach to ORM?
