Well, it definitely goes beyond a traditional DBMS, but yes :-) If processing the same amount of data via pure SQL versus SQL with LLM calls, it will be slower and more expensive when using LLMs. Note that 600s is just the default timeout, though. It's typically much faster (and you can set the timeout to whatever you like; ThalamusDB will return the best result approximation it can find until the timeout).
