The document discusses performance improvements in different versions of SQL Server using in-memory OLTP technologies. SQL Server 2012 saw 12,000 batch requests/second limited by latch contention. SQL Server 2014 improved to 300,000 requests/second using memory-optimized tables but was still CPU-bound. SQL Server 2016 achieved 1,200,000 requests/second using memory-optimized tables with LOB support and natively compiled stored procedures. A production system at Bwin saw similar performance gains moving from a 19-node caching solution to a single SQL Server 2016 node.
