db40 Opensource DB for Java and .NET Claims 10x Speed Upgrade

In an article posted today, Richard Goering reports on the new release of db4objects' db40 -- an open-source object-oriented database that targets embedded applications written in Java and .NET. The vendor is claiming a significant performance gain and reduced memory consumption in a new release: up to 10x performance improvement for very large databases (they claim 2x to 3x improvement, elsewhere). Created in 2000, db40 now claims some 15,000 registered users, nearly a million downloads, and 200 commercial customers in 30 countries.
