題目: Re: [Libbitcoin] Significant Blockchain Performance Improvements
This is *really* cool Amir, and a good presentation of the data.

Writes are presumably unimportant perforance-wise, because of the
relative cycle times, but have you run read/write tests under load to
validate your concurrency implementation?

My other concern at this point would be fault-tolerance. Have you run
any hard shutdown tests under read and/or write load? I realize block
data is all cache, but obviously we don't want to have to rebuild after
every hard shutdown.

BTW, a side-by-side comparison with bitcoind would be pretty valuable.
