ParadeDB Search Performance Improvements

Love to see this. Am a huge paradedb user (we running over 100m records in prod, index is 4tb or so) and I just loved this read.

ParadeDB'er here: We are really hoping this can turn into a back and forth, making both of our products better.

ParadeDB kicks the TIN can should be the title.

Definitely looking at using them, you do wonder if such narrow focus is defensible as a business? Probably not.

Massive respect for ParadeDB for seeing a benchmark where they were 8x slower, taking it as an engineering challenge instead of making excuses, profiling the hell out of it, fixing the actual bottlenecks, and publishing everything they learned along the way.

This is what healthy engineering competition looks like.
