I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it, and that you found the concepts and ideas understandable!

It's worth pointing out that this was intended to be a relatively high-level talk. For the more technical details, I'd recommend reading the [Noria paper](https://www.usenix.org/conference/osdi18/presentation/gjengs...). As for the performance numbers, I've tried to give some better discussion of that [in a response](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18838359) to NovaX's comments above.
