I don't know of a benchmark specific to BDB for .NET, but since it is just a wrapper for the C-API, you can read this document: http://www.sleepycat.com/pdfs/wp_perf_0705c1.pdf
It has a link to the C source code and you could try to port that code to BDB for .NET so that you can measure how big the wrapper overhead is.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Is there any speed tests for Berkeley DB for .NET?
I'm interesting in
1) how fast it inserts 100 000 records with 1 int field
2) how fast does it insert 100 000 records with
five int fields
And how fast it makes theses tests in bulk insert.
