It depends on the application: MySQL Cluster offers an in-memory database so for very atomic requests (like primary key lookup) it is very fast and predictable, but the distributed architecture is not good for very complex queries with lots of joins. Note that MySQL Cluster also supports disk based data to further enhance flexibility offered by the database.
