How can active record be faster?

Excellent, I guess this highlights a few problems we have that I would like you to address:

  • We should always be generating strings in our “selection” perf tests. We should fix all our existing specs to do so. I don’t care if we already have data for specs, we can backfill the corrections.

  • We should add a spec that selects a large amount of columns from a table and generates a giant string.

  • We should either always use sequel_pg OR optionally use it. I think for simplicity sake we should always use it, cause that is what people are using in production.

  • We got to ensure parity between our AR and Sequel specs, otherwise we can not compare them, fixing up that ILIKE is urgent.

Thoughts?
