After establishing that deallocating segments was a bottleneck when scaling the billion row challenge out to many cores, we've decided to move to using mimalloc everywhere.
Using
LD_PRELOAD
with mimalloc, these optimisations further speed up running the billion row challenge (run on a 64 core machine with hyperthreading):This shows that scaling is good out to 8 cores, and drops off after that. Logging timings shows an obvious bottleneck in
gather_entities
withinAggregationClause::process
, which will be addressed in a future ticket to avoid conflicts with #1495.
