In-memory key-value store in C, Go and Python

I immediately disregard anyone that doesn't show their benchmarks running for any amount of time that would reasonably be used in production.

I have absolutely no problem with letting my stuff fire requests off on 12+ core machines for hours or days on end. And then repeat it. And again.

Production means 24/7 and when I read your less than an hour benchmark on ANY test - well, that's just a not right.

Totally, you just don't see some things after a long time. I haven't read the code but people mentioned the author is using malloc in a lot of places, you wont' see ill effects from memory fragmentation with a quick benchmark, it could take hours or days to see how large of holes you have in your memory space.

And in Go, they aren't running long enough to see the GC kick in. I suspect the overhead of GC will be significant without tuning.
