Well, fair in a sense that we'd compare which implementation is more efficient. Surely, ClickHouse is faster, but is it because it's using actually superior algorithms or is it just that it executes stuff in parallel by default? I'd like to believe it's both, but without "user%" it's hard to tell

Last time I checked, writing efficient, contention-free and correct parallel code is hard and often harder than pulling an algorithm out of a book.

Would you take half the wheels off a car to compare it to a motorcycle?

[Almondsetat]

Motorcycles are faster than cars though

[Etheryte]

Not necessarily, that really depends on what you mean by fast. Cars definitely go higher in top speed than bikes do for example. If I'm not mistaken, racing electric cars also accelerate comparable or faster than bikes. A bike can generally go around a track faster than a car, but that only holds true in dry conditions. Etc, many ways to define fast and what you actually mean.

I thought all the land speed records were basically motorcycles.

Jet motorcycles but motorcycles

Musk's roadster is currently going in excess of 10,000 mph. Which bike is faster than that? :)
