The data is stored in a single file that is portable across machine architectures. It is very fast in read-only applications, outperforming postgres by 2-3 times the number of requests per second in some simple tests performed by Edin. However, its performance for high concurrency updates will be quite poor, as it locks the whole database when making changes. --Wez.
