On average only 1.5x faster than polars. That’s kinda crazy.

Why is that crazy? (I think the crazy thing is that they are faster at all. Taking an existing api and making it fast is harder than creating the api from scratch with performance in mind)

100x faster than pandas yet 1.5x faster than polars. Polars is stupid fast. It’s got a far better api too — much more ergonomic.
