I'm pretty certain this is simply a case of outdated documentation --
you could file an issue with Ray and ask them to fix it.

At this point reading the C++ headers would be the way to go. Plasma
is one aspect of building a distributed data caching solution, so it's
quite low level but it works well.

I don't recall anyone having done too many systematic performance
studies / benchmarks.
