It's dishonest, at the very least, to claim ACID compliance and then do benchmarks against a known ACID compliant competitor without having the same level of ACIDity enabled in your program.

If you want to prove how fast MemSQL is against MongoDB, that's one thing (I understand it also can be "fully durable" but it is not by default due to speed concerns). To prove how fast MemSQL is against MySQL, you have to prove it on the same playing field, which means it has to, necessarily, be just as ACIDic and respond to "real" queries on large datasets with high concurrency.

tl;dr Do some benchmarks of apples-to-apples ACID, and do something about the common case of a head of a table, then you will be honestly faster (or not) than MySQL
