No worries :). MemSQL does very well for OLTP like workloads, but it's not an "all size fits all" database.

Recovery goes at the speed of disk.

The compile time for memsql is mostly code generation time. Once the code is generated/compiled MemSQL is doing a very good job matching the queries against the existing plan by removing parameters from the query text.

Some of the stuff is on the website (Capital Markets, Ad Serving, Mobile). It will be expanding as we add clustering and more analytical features.
