The performance of DuckDB's predecessor, MonetDBLite, was/is stellar. DuckDB, when I tried in 6 months ago, was a bit behind in terms of csv parsing or aggregation by groups and didn't seem much faster than regular sqlite so I didn't really jump at it. Does anyone here know if the performance improved since then and how it compares to MonetDBLite?
We are currently actively working on performance optimization, and have recently finished implementing parallelization. Expect more performance improvements soon :)
