XPO - A simple benchmark against EF 6 and EF Core

UPDATE:
See the second part here.

----------------------------------------------------

We recently published a BenchmarkDotNet-based benchmark on GitHub: https://github.com/DevExpress/XPO/tree/master/Benchmarks.

We used it to test the performance of the following Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) libraries for .NET Framework 4.6.1 and higher:

• Entity Framework 6.0.2 (EF 6);
• Entity Framework Core 2.0.3 (EF Core); 
• eXpress Persistent Objects™ 18.1.3 (XPO). 

You can run the benchmark tests or review our results here. Needless to say, the lower the execution time the better. Example:

All benchmarks were executed using .NET 4.6.1, AnyCPU release builds (include warm-up), Windows 10 Enterprise x64, local Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Developer Edition, i7-7700 CPU @3.6GHz / 16GB RAM / SSD. Please note that DevExpress.Xpo and other referenced libraries will automatically be restored from Nuget. Edit the connection string in the App.config file, update the ORM library and target framework versions, if necessary. 

Your feedback is needed!

We kept the first version of this test as simple as possible.  Feel free to make data model and test case modifications to cover additional usage scenarios. For instance,  measure memory consumption, include scenarios with BLOBs, reference and collection properties, etc. We'd love to hear your feedback about this project. Drop us a line below, thanks.
