This is out of date - our current system is significantly more
efficient. The garbage collector isn't ready yet, but when it will be,
this penalty will be invisible to the end users.

No, RethinkDB isn't production ready yet. It will take another six-
eight months before we can begin doing production pilots.

It really depends on your workloads - there is no single spec that's
good for everyone. Please e-mail me directly (sl
...@rethinkdb.com)
with your infrastructure details, and I'll be able to give better
advice. Also, if you could take a few minutes to fill out our survey
at
http://rethinkdb.com/survey, it would really help us build a better
product that suits your needs.

It depends on the SSD and the workloads. We don't have degradation
numbers yet, but our preliminary findings suggest that a good SSD will
outlive a rotational drive on most common workloads.
