Various benchmarks are available:
As of 3.0.0 (3f7a977), for Coupon.avsc.
As of 3.2.1 (c67aef9), also for Coupon.avsc.
The original benchmarks are available by clicking on the charts above.
Displayed rates were computed over 150,000 records, taking the median of 15
runs. Percentages are relative to the fastest throughput for the schema. All
benchmarks were run on a MacBook Air (1.7GHz Intel Core i7). The code is
available in etc/benchmarks/. -1 values indicate that the library doesn't
support the schema.
As of 3.0.0 (7bc3503).
