the savings you got from local imports and using raw queries instead of an ODM surprised me - speed boost from nuking the ODM is a chefs kiss too. well written article btw: super-easy to consume and i reckon would help a lot of people.

Thank you Steve! I honestly didn't expect such a boost from dropping the ODM, but a lovely extra. Primarily I need to a) drop a stagnant core library, b) enable async - see reason a. :)
