Could you please not pull things out of context?
If you say "no, pgvector is not slow, it is the index that is slow", while pgvector has been designed with only a single index type, then it is a design issue of pgvector in that the wrong type of index was chosen as the included index type.
That there are plans to solve this issue doesn't mean it is not an issue; indeed it validates my point that pgvector currently has design flaws.
Telling (potential) users to wait for 6 months for performance doesn't mean much if there are more performant alternatives readily available right now; a starving person isn't helped by a meal made available half a world away.
