330K iops for a single device you are very unlikely to be running a single device. There are Fusion IO models that can do 1M IOPS but they are on the exotic side. If you are optimising for throughput you can configure commit_delay so you will fsync multiple commits.

FaunaDB is faster in an unclustered, unreplicated configuration too, but that's not what FaunaDB is really for.

We should track disk IOPS, though, so you can do an apples-to-apples comparison of how much low-level throughput the database is driving. I believe the instance store disks in the EC2 C3 hardware class can support about ~20K write IOPS each.

Relaxing disk commits is a quick route to data loss. Might as well use mongo at that point.

commit_delay does not relax anything it's just increases latency to group multiple commits
