Empirical Telemetry.

Direct head-to-head empirical testing against Zep (Graphiti) and the LongMemEval Agentic Memory framework. Tested on 2 vCPU, 2GB RAM bare-metal instances.

Agentic Memory Model Zep (Graphiti / Python) Lodestor (Zero-Copy Rust) Multiplier
Retrieval Latency (L1 Cache) ~155.0 ms 0.00085 ms (852 ns) 181,769x
Retrieval Latency (L2 Engine p50) ~155.0 ms 0.006 ms (6 µs) 25,833x
Associative Discovery (3-Hop HippoRAG) ~155.0 ms 2.26 ms (100% Recall) 68x
Deep Memory Retrieval (DMR) N/A (Network Bound) 10.18 ms (Rank #1 out of 1000) Absolute Convergence
100%
Abstention & Temporal Expiry
Perfect LongMemEval Ability 5 scoring. Lodestor strictly guarantees it will never hallucinate expired credentials or keys, due to Jepsen-verified temporal fencing.
Zero
Context Inflation
Token-budgeted knapsack optimization. 150 token limits are strictly enforced at the engine layer without sacrificing Rank 1 Needle-in-Haystack (DMR) recall.
