yeah, one of the few red flags

sounds like a cherry picked case to me

Cherry-picked IMHO isn't necessarily the right label for that. They don't claim they made an universally 30% faster redis, they clearly say one of the things they did improved performance for a specific case.
If anything, the OP here is misleading by quoting it as a general improvement.

#7I wonder if Redis throughput is even a problem in practice. People usually add nodes to get more capacity (memory).

For most use-cases, Redis nodes will saturate network IO before CPU, but it should be noted that Redis is single-threaded so YMMV.

I just tested it with redis-benchmark. The performance is the same as with Redis.

#10Reminds me of HHVM: a specific solution developed by a specific team for their specific problem.
Might help Redis on the long run though: some ideas might be brought back to Redis, or at least it will bring some challenge to the devs.
Meanwhile, keep calm and use Redis ;-)
