Benedict commented on CASSANDRA-8520:
-------------------------------------

FTR, I meant storage _format_ not storage _engine_. Though no doubt both will 
help.

The crux of the _near_term performance improvement here is removing a ~fixed 
burden of synchronization. Being ~fixed, if we have significant cost reductions 
to make and are targeting a proportional yield, we should reduce those other 
costs before measuring the benefit here. 

i.e., if this is currently 30% of time (say), but we can shave 90% off of it, 
that is only a ~27% improvement. If we can shave 80% off the remaining 80% 
first, then this improvement is ~150%.

> Let's prototype the best possible scenario for how well we can perform with a 
> thread per core design by simplifying everything we can.  For instance,
> - No HH, no RR, no replication at all
> - No MessagingService
> - No compaction (so test a workload w/o overwrites)
> - No repair
> - Just local writes and reads
> If we can't get a big win (say at least 2x) with these simplifications then I 
> think we can say that it's not worth it.
> If we can get a big win, then we can either refine the prototype to make it 
> more realistic or start working on it in earnest.
