Look it this way: you have a web app that can handle 10 req/s. It does not matter if you add a database behind it that can handle 10,000 req/s. 10 req/s still limit you. You're not gaining any performance benefits. I always wondered why you would need a dedicated vector DB.

vector DBs have much higher 'semantic' recall than classical search engines if you want to ask questions about your documents or previous discussions.
