He did go into several specifics as to why MongoDB might lose your data. Nice jab at CouchDB though!

He was talking about that post http://www.korokithakis.net/node/119 that doesn't go into any specifics at all.

But couchdb is slow though. I, like many, switched to mongodb because couchdb was just too slow and when I asked in IRC how to make it faster I was told to run a cluster of couchdb, so, not too different than mongodb ;)
There was also an Erlang configuration change which allowed us to make use of a thread pool for disk-io so that fsyncs didn't block other activity.
Really it was a bunch of tiny things, that all added up. The catalyst was the creation and use of a few highly-concurrent benchmark suites that we could use to identify bottlenecks.
