There isn't yet any benchmark result for this from ArangoDB.
However, we already adjusted our Java driver to use VelocyPack instead of JSON internally and VelocyStream for the client-server communication. This has led to quite some performance improvements in the YCSB benchmarks we ran. But to be fair, some of those are also due to some other refactoring work for the driver.
So it's still a to-do to run a proper benchmark for this soon.
