Update README: The sentence "up to 160 million operations per second"

It would have made more sense to compare it with RocksDB, LevelDB or similar on same environment and configurations. Putting out plain numbers sets no context, just to quote an example, MySQL Cluster has been benched at 200m ops/s (where operations are part of 2PC transactions!). And that in 2015! https://www.mysql.com/why-mysql/benchmarks/mysql-cluster/

That's on 32 data nodes, vs this one CPU I believe?

The FASTER paper shows numbers for FASTER, RocksDB, etc. on the same hardware. If the paper isn't already linked from the README, it might be good to link it.

Yes, the MySQL number looks like it was on 32 nodes. This result is on a single machine. Of course, comparing to MySQL would be unfair as those are no txns here. The specs of the machine and the parameters for the experiments are discussed in https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/uploads/prod/2018/03/faster-sigmod18.pdf. I agree that the README needs to be explicit about the machine config, workload details, etc. Perhaps we should add a separate section covering these points.

Would be really nice if you can put in a benchmark wiki with table upfront so people don't have to digg in. I went through paper and found the benchmarks.
