HammerDB uses stored procedures to achieve maximum throughput when benchmarking your database. HammerDB has always used stored procedures as a design decision because the original benchmark was implemented as close as possible to the example workload in the TPC-C specification that uses stored procedures. On MySQL, we saw a 1.5X

Accurate benchmarking rewards engineering investment that actually improves performance, but, unfortunately, inaccurate benchmarking is more common. If the benchmark reported 20k ops/sec, you should ask: why not 40k ops/sec?
