BerkeleyDB transaction performance, like any other ACID database, is
limited to disk performance (unless you have a non volatile ram, of
course). Using ext2 and such, you are happy if you get 30-50
transactions per second. Using nice Solaris ZFS, I do a transaction per
rotation; that is, 120 transactions per second with a consumer level
7200RPM disk.

PS: Until Oracle takeover, BerkeleyDB was the heart of MySQL
transactional engine. I don't like mysql, but not for its use of
BerkeleyDB :-).
