Yes, there are folks out there with 100MB databases who only run one-liner select queries. But frankly, Valemort/Redis/Mongo are going to whip both our and MySQL's butts on that kind of workload anyway.

Yes but if we can kick MySQL's butt, that would certainly be a good
thing. There are people (lots of people) that do not like the whole
Valemort/Redis/Mongo paradigm.

Agreed.
