Comparing ArangoDB with CouchDB and MongoDB
The folks over at MongoDB have an article on their site on Comparing MongoDB and CouchDB.

ArangoDB 1.1 Feature Preview: Batch Request API | ArangoDB 2012
Clients normally send individual operations to ArangoDB in individual HTTP requests.

Bulk Insert Benchmark Tool | ArangoDB 2012
To easily conduct bulk insert benchmarks with different NoSQL databases, we wrapped a small benchmark tool in PHP. The tool can be used to measure the time it takes to bulk upload data into MongoDB, CouchDB, and ArangoDB using the databases’ bulk documents APIs.
