I think it's disingenuous to measure load+index+query time and then declare that you're faster. Not saying there aren't use cases where that's valuable (analytics/warehousing db for one) but it's not what most people are looking for. Is this usable as a transactional store? What do those numbers look like?

The pipeline model is very interesting, though, and I'll take a look for our warehouse, which at some point became too expensive to keep up with.
