Fastest database?

I am looking for fastest free key-value pair database available. Database doesn't have to be server-based, it can be linked into the application. I am aware of Tokyo Cabinet. Any other suggestions?

I don't know about fastest, but you can look at this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1543965/document-key-value-stores-with-net-projects.

The reality, is that you will probably need to clearly establish a performance baseline and profile different databases for yourself to determine which will have acceptable performance for your specific application.
