Lately in work I had opportunity to learn about Redis (and elasticsearch as well), which really pumped up performance of our data storage. In this thread it had been quickly shot down, but without any real arguments. I'm a webdev, so I'd like to ask you if there would be any performance gain in comparison to mysql (which still would be used as a last layer persistent cache), or the overhead from plugin calls would simply make it unprofitable to even think about it. Of course, it helped me with project with millions of rows, and I can fathom that there aren't such gamemodes out there, but still.

Would using Redis give any performance boost?
