It's a bit like comparing the performance of a Formula 1 to the performance of
a tank. In-memory databases, in general, will vastly outperform databases that
rely on writing to disk, much like the Formula 1 car will vastly outperform
traditional databases like Oracle on a smooth track. An in-memory database
generally requires that you have enough RAM to hold the entire database and
does not have anywhere near the guarantees of durability (the D in ACID) that a
traditional database does. Tanks are built to withstand a lot more for a lot
longer than a Formula 1 car is.
If you have a small, read-only or read-mostly database where you can afford to
lose updates, an in-memory database is probably ideal. Otherwise, stick with
the traditional database.

Subject: Timesten Vs. Oracle - Performance
How does timesten compare with Oracle Database in performance, availability etc?
Timesten in-memory Database - a brief :-
The database system needs an inexpensive, plentiful memory, and the dramatic
increases in processor speeds relative to the modest increases in disk drive
performance.TimesTen produces software that brings real-time database
performance to applications. With TimesTen In-Memory Database
Technology,throughput is measured in tens of thousands of operations per
second, and response times are counted in microseconds.
Though internally unique, TimesTen's products are accessed through
standards-based interfaces, and designed for easy integration into existing
software infrastructures.
