When running in pipeline mode `--pipeline=30`, Dragonfly reaches **10M qps** for SET and **15M qps** for GET operations.
+### Memcached / Dragonfly
+
+We compared memcached with Dragonfly on `c6gn.16xlarge` instance on AWS.
+As you can see below Dragonfly dominates memcached for both write and read workloads
+in terms of throughput with a comparable latency. For write workloads, Dragonfly has also better latency, due to contention on the [write path in memcached](docs/memcached_benchmark.md).

### Memory efficiency
In the following test, we filled Dragonfly and Redis with ~5GB of data
using `debug populate 5000000 key 1024` command. Then we started sending the update traffic with `memtier` and kicked off the snapshotting with the
"bgsave" command. The following figure demonstrates clearly how both servers behave in terms of memory efficiency.

+
Dragonfly was 30% more memory efficient than Redis at the idle state.
It also did not show any visible memory increase during the snapshot phase.
