Benchmarks
Displayed rates were computed over 150,000 records, taking the median of 15
runs. Percentages are relative to the fastest throughput for the schema. -1
values indicate that the library doesn't support the schema.
All benchmarks were run on a MacBook Air (1.7GHz Intel Core i7). The code is
available in etc/benchmarks/.
As of 2.2.0 (0b47aef).
