Thanks for writing that up. It's always exciting to see this each year.

I'd say the streaming read stuff added in b5a9b18cd and subsequent
commits like b7b0f3f27 and 041b96802 are worth a mention. I'd be happy
to see this over the IS NOT NULL qual stuff that I worked on in there
or even the AVX512 bit counting. Speeding up a backwater aggregate
function is nice, but IMO, not compatible with reducing the number
reads.

There's some benchmarking in a youtube video:

The only other thing I saw from a quick read was a stray "the" in "the
copy proceed even if the there is an error inserting a row."
