Is performance the main motivation for your team? If so, we'll be publishing some results soon. In the meantime, there are some non-performance related comparisons with Mongo that you might want to take a look at:
* Technical comparison: http://rethinkdb.com/docs/comparison-tables/
* A slightly more biased comparison: http://rethinkdb.com/docs/rethinkdb-vs-mongodb/

Performance would grant us the best reason to switch. Because otherwise we are quite satisfied with mongo. I have seen the technical comparison. I will keep an eye out for the performance results. Thanks for letting me know.

If you're on mongo and interested in performance, take a look at tokumx. It's a drop in replacement for mongodb with a better storage engine. http://www.tokutek.com/2013/09/tokumx-vs-mongodb-in-memory-s...
Also, I understand that 'benchmarking' databases is extremely situational and generally inaccurate. However, without reasonable ways to measure an increase in performance, its really hard for me to make the decision to switch from mongo to rethink.
What I'm trying to ask is, does anyone have any information that can help me decide where, how, when and why should I use make the decision to switch from mongo to rethink? Not just for me but also so that I can show others in my team to get a consensus to switch.
