If you are like us here at publishflow and use MongoDB you will want to update both the database binary and driver now and update often. The last driver update improved performance by 10x for most of our 'read' operations. That's a huge improvement. You could reach a couple of conclusions about this. The first is that the previous driver versions were pretty bad. The second is that 10gen - the folks behind MongoDB are still busy improving the product. It's also pretty clear that 10gen is into rapid development and have short release cycles since we have seen at least 3 major revisions in the past couple of months.
Our experience so far with MongoDB is that while it was always extremely fast for our own use-case, it has also become increasingly stable (almost solid) in the past month with the most recent revisions.
If you are investigating NoSQL data stores and you don't mind a little turbulence (in development and production) in exchange for scalability, performance and low costs we'd recommend MongoDB.
