that is fast! Are you going to do the STAC-M3 benchmarks? Kx use them as evidence that they are the fastest, which is a fair claim as nobody else participates in that particular test :-)

I think one day we'll do that on https://oxide.computer/ 1: because we love our friends 2: the gear is great (and ROCEv2 supported which L uses)

Seems like the only point of comparison against a competitive k/q runtime is an MBP run? suggestive to be sure, but would be good to see some other machines, esp. an x86.

Seems wild that the much-lauded "reference engine" leaves ~2x perf improvements on the table.

I’d encourage running the master bench yourself! Super easy

Or on the database side of the house try the h2o.ai base that duckdb excels at
