Hello,

available hardware is about 1:10

Assuming the caching of "5 to 10%" of most-frequently-accessed data
is good

am I using
the wrong tool for the job?

Benchmarks of various DB engines on Fusion IO storage, with DBs 5x larger than RAM, available on http://symas.com/mdb/ondisk/

The answer also depends on the size of your data records.
