I don't think it's cheating at all; it's how its designed to work.
If you want to say "but this is more difficult": okay, fair enough (although in my experience it's not difficult at all), but then say that instead of posting a misleading benchmark which runs Redis in a way it's not supposed to run. You can place all sorts of artificial "yeah but I don't want to do it like this" constraints on all sort of things.
