 `multiInstance` should be set to `false` when you have single-instances like a single Node.js-process, a react-native-app, a cordova-app or a single-window electron app which can decrease the startup time because no instance coordination has to be done.

 One big benefit of having a realtime database is that big performance optimizations can be done when the database knows a query is observed and the updated results are needed continuously. RxDB uses the [EventReduce Algorithm](https://github.com/pubkey/event-reduce) to optimize observer or recurring queries.
