Performance and the optional binary Couchdb adapter

[Rue the Ghetto]

Matt and I had a chance to talk at RubyConf, and one of the things he talked about was a binary/socket adapter for couchdb to increase performance. 

I am just starting to do some speed tests on CouchRest, Aqua (my little project) and ActiveRecord. ActiveRecord is about 25% faster in single thread creates. I am guessing that this has to do with the relative speed of http versus an established socket connection.

I am interested in working on this kind of socket adapter, but don't have any background on this. Matt, do you have any info? Anyone else?

There are a few things you could try:

• use another db adapter instead of rest-client and keep the connection open. (recycle the http connection)
• use a pool of http connections to query in parallel.
• user bert-rpc and connect directly to couchdb without using http
• build a http reverse proxy cache using rack. (this is a bit tricky since couch uses POST requests to retrieve data)
