+The focus is not scale (millions of documents) or number of features, but simplicity and performance for the most common use cases. On a mid-range 2020 Intel laptop CPU you can query 1,000 documents in 0.5 ms and 100,000 documents in 56 ms, both with just 44 memory allocations. See [Benchmarks](#benchmarks) for details.

 ### Roadmap
 
 - Performance:
-  - [ ] Add Go benchmark code
-  - [ ] Improve code based on CPU and memory profiles
+  - [ ] Add SIMD / Assembler to speed up dot product calculation
 - Embedding creators:
   - [ ] Add an `EmbeddingFunc` that downloads and shells out to [llamafile](https://github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llamafile)

 ## Motivation
 
 In December 2023, when I wanted to play around with retrieval augmented generation (RAG) in a Go program, I looked for a vector database that could be embedded in the Go program, just like you would embed SQLite in order to not require any separate DB setup and maintenance. I was surprised when I didn't find any, given the abundance of embedded key-value stores in the Go ecosystem.
