Hey folks I want to use Nim for server side development but the slow speed of db_postgres is making me hesitant. in the Techempower benchmarks, the db queries for nim stdlib have been benchmarked as being extremely slow.
I am opening this forum post to discuss why the postgres driver is so slow and what can we do to improve it. I think having a performant db driver will go a long way in making great for webdev as well. The two immediately likely candidates that come to mind are that the db_postgres doesn't supports async queries and that the libpq it uses is old. Are these assumptions correct. Are there any other reasons?
