- focus: performance. Not only thing, but crucial.
  - usability
  - ease of administration
  - ...
- great strides around parallelism
- parallelism doesn't help with concurrency, nor oltp, nor resource usage
- focus: vertical scalability
- focus not: horizontal scalability
- focus: efficiency
- Areas of improvement:
  - OLAP: JIT compilation
    - usecases
  - both: general execution speed
    - different expression evaluation
  - OLAP: aggregation
- future:
  - statement overhead
  - memory usage
