Yeah, they're fundamentally solving different problems. I was confused to see it benchmarking against them in the first place.
The number of items isn't the best metric alone, making it harder to demonstrate in a benchmark. I've reaped benefits from bigcache with ~600k-900k items — but there's a lot of eviction, each item is a pointer and can have a bunch of nested references itself. (protobufs)
