Thank you!

Michael David, a contributor, did update the benchmark a few days ago.

No, nothing was done to improve the performance.

The throughput or latency are really dependent on the Ra/Raft cluster 
underneath anyway. The write throughput increases with more concurrent 
updates to a Khepri store. The reason is that fsync(2) calls are less 
frequent compared to the number of Raft commands. fsync(2) is what 
impacts the most the performance of Khepri. This is mandatory to provide 
the guarantees of Raft. AFAIK, Mnesia doesn't perform any fsync(2) 
automatically.
