YouTube fed me a video I’d watched a couple years ago about a log searching tool. Compressed data, decompressed into cpu cache, and then scanned. Almost no indexing at all, just cpu cache for speed.

We spend a lot of time arguing with the cpu. If we give it something it’s actually happy doing, it almost doesn’t matter how stupid that thing is, because it’s stupid fast.
