Out of interest, how did you arrive at the 20-50x speedup numbers?

Cherrypicking the most tedious parts, like boilerplate to get up and running, or porting code to other adapters (making mysqlite and postgres adapters for instance)

This was done in about 3 hours for instance: https://github.com/Qbix/Platform/tree/refactor/DbQuery/platf...

You can see the speed for yourself. Here is my first speedrun livestreamed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yg6UFyIPYNY

So your actual output has not increased by 20-50x, just some parts of it? What's your speedup like over an entire project, not just cherrypicked parts?

I think those parts were the big bottleneck, so technically, yes it has.
