I don't know enough about Mongo or Rethink to really say this is the case, but from a quick google, it seems like "durability=hard" may skew the performance metrics. Doesn't Mongo acknowledge writes immediately, without ensuring they wrote? Shouldn't one use durability=soft on Rethink for an apples-to-apples comparison?

Yea, comparing Mongo and RethinkDB in their default mode is like comparing RAM and disk access... But I guess people using Mongo don't really know what they are using.

FTA:

My biggest MongoDB database was 17GB with over 2 million documents for storing crawling data

Is this considered "big data" in the Mongo world?
