	InterSystems Caché - Caché Technology - White Papers - Case Studies in Performance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Companies who perform such benchmark tests on their own typically find that Caché outperforms relational databases by a factor of five or more, even without changing application code and just using SQL.
		In most of the studies presented here, SQL was used as the query language because that makes it easier to conduct a head-to-head test of Caché and relational databases.
		In these cases Caché’s superior performance is due to its multidimensional architecture, which eliminates the processing overhead needed to perform “joins” across multiple tables.
