Data is loaded into memory, and reloaded at the call of a function, so lookups are quite fast.
When do you normally update the data? Are you using it in any public-facing project?
Also a couple more of differences I've seen:
- I store it in a file then retrieve from file or remote depending on the last time it was retrieved. This gives a mixed performance locally, but remotely not so much as server-server is quite fast. I might try storing in memory as you though, that should be way faster
- I use a mongodb-like syntax for finding, which allows for (I think) simpler use, but your syntax for sure allows for simpler debugging as you can see the data 'as-is'.
- Grille allows for more flexibility, but it also looks more complex. So our demo files are completely different [2]
So basically every advantage has a disadvantage (:
