That sounds like a reasonable thing to do.
While EDS is a handy tool, it's not in the same league
as full-blown commercial database systems (or serious
database freeware!).

You'd have to set up your own benchmark.
EDS is pretty fast, and is scalable to millions of records,
but commercial systems will be more robust.
For example if lightning strikes, commercial systems
can guarantee that your database won't be corrupted.
EDS can't do that. Also Euphoria can be run as
separate *processes*, but it doesn't support multiple
threads in one process.
