MariaDB and Aria

Hello,

I installed yesterday MariaDB on Ubuntu 14.04 and in order to save some memory, I disabled InnoDB. But in order to disable it, I had to set another default engine, so I set it to Aria. A lot of tutorials and forums suggests to set default engine to MyISAM, but according to MariaDB site: "You're encouraged to rather use the Aria storage engine for new applications, which has even better performance and the goal of being crash-safe."

So my.cf has these two lines:

default-storage-engine = aria

skip-innodb

So, has anyone used Aria engine? It is reliable?
