> It's impossible to improve performance when you have to go out to the DB anyway;

That's not right. There are many queries that run far faster in duckdb/datafusion than (say) postgres, even with the overhead of pulling whole large tables prior to running the query. (Or use like pg_duckdb).

For certain types of queries these engines can be 100x faster.
