Performance Benchmarks

All the performance benchmarks done in various configuration and regression testing, have delivered consistent results.

NitroCache scales with O(c) as number of threads increase. The fetch time remains constant irrespective of thread load. The put time increases linearly with threads, the performance and graph curve for put is similar to ehCache.
