  Im actually embedding this in place of leveldb, in a project im working, because i just want a compact db file, and not several like leveldb use to do, and giving the benchmarks are saying this is even faster, its a plus..

  But i was just worried about the api using void pointers to represent heap state like db, cursor, etc.. im not a security expert but isnt that considered harmful? giving it could be used as a cursor to point to any arbitrary memory address by a black hat? (or that work just if the handle points to a invalid address? in a bug for instance?)

  How does it compare to sqlite? (Yes, sqlite can do K/V if you structure your table simply.)

  How it compares to LMDB?

  Would love to see where it fits in terms of performance here: Symas Micro database benchmarks http://symas.com/mdb/microbench/

  I'm an MDB fan.
