Language	Time	Memory
Python (pyodbc)	~2.0s	~50 MB
Rust (tiberius)	~0.3s	~10 MB

Rust advantage: 5-7x faster, 5x less memory.

Why It’s Fast

Tiberius — native TDS protocol, no ODBC layer overhead
Tokio — async I/O, non-blocking database access
Zero-copy where possible — serde deserialization directly from TDS rows
Release build optimizations — LTO, single codegen unit, stripped symbols
