Why is SQLite faster than Redis in this simple benchmark?

Question

I have done simple performance test on my local machine, this is python script:

import redis
import sqlite3
import time

data = {}
N = 100000

for i in xrange(N)         


        

Answer 1

Just noticed that you did not pipeline the commit for redis. Using piplines the time reduces:

[---Testing SQLITE---]

[Total time of sql: 0.669369935989]

[---Testing REDIS---]

[Total time of redis: 2.39369487762]
