On a lightly loaded server with a handful of users, I have never  
observed any appreciable difference between sql, nosql or hashtable.  
That is, if they are running on the same box as horde (all configured  
with ample memory). As soon as you hit connections to a different  
server and/or delays because data has to come from a spinning disk,  
the performance suffers, but other than that, no real difference.
