>> Random Reads: Indeed LSM Tree ->454 seconds; Kyoto Cabinet B-Tree->50 hours

That's ridiculous. AFAIK, Kyoto has the fastest random reads as per a levelDB analysis[1]. Not sure how this stacks up against RocksDB, but stating that the IndeedLSM tree is 2 orders of magnitude faster sounds suspicious.

Agreed, something has to be wonky with his(her?) Kyoto Cabinet configuration or drivers. I have always had blazing results with KC and this is showing it as being the slowest in every test.
