Yes, you’d be doing a fair and honest benchmark if you want to compare yourself to Redis.

I just explained how implementing the Redis protocol will inherit inefficiencies of Redis in IKV - so I don't understand how the comparison will be fair or honest.

Hope this addresses your original question about why we wrote a custom benchmarking client.

It is quite simple and is available here. There is nothing malicious in there to make IKV appear faster. Although ff you do see a bug, I am happy to fix and republish results.
