were you using the pandas backend in Ibis and pitching that to your company? you'd have much better performance and efficiency using the default backend, even if you used pandas for data input and output (though the DuckDB data readers are generally more efficient too). I'd be happy to help you on the pitch!

and if you were using the pandas backend or know of many users doing so, please reach out! we love feedback from our users and would be sad to see y'all go, we're open to reconsidering any decisions based on feedback
