I know of a DSP Engineer that used memcpy as a baseline to compare the speed of a sound filter. I think it is a good measure for first principle thinking.

There are other things wrong with the talk, it takes way too long to get to the point for one thing. DuckDB is cool and all but most of data management is getting the data in the right format/place and doing security or stuff like that, not running some query.

memcpy seems like a reasonable baseline for a function designed to operate on things in memory

not for a database

Man, you should read the original thread where memcopy was brought up as another example why netcat is a bad baseline for a network protocol and I was like, yea no that part at least sort of makes sense because that is the baseline. Sometimes I don't know why I keep commenting in this website. It is like talking with idiots all day.
