ParadeDB Search Performance Improvements

PlanetScale’s TIN extension achieved at least an 8-fold speed increase over ParadeDB 0.25 on the same StackExchange benchmark dataset, using Postgres ctid values as document identifiers. ParadeDB closed the gap with a series of optimizations—including reduced random access during BM25 scoring and other code-level improvements—while maintaining the same benchmark harness and machine types. The performance gains were demonstrated for both BM25-ranked Top K queries and COUNT operations.
