i'm surprised how fast it's saying the events were published tho. if you use the import tool on a trove of events of around 117k, it takes about 15 seconds to swallow the whole lot, which means it's more like 8000 events/s
but maybe you have faster, next generation hardware, my pc has like 3 years ago tech in it. i've used a hetzner server that was about 3-4x faster at everything in my recent previous project with a large database iteration (comparing a set of 1000 records to each other, N(N-1) operations, something like, what was it, 400,000 operations in total. this included standard library JSON decoding. i was going to optimize that stuff with a decoder cache but it was working well enough for processing one row at a time.
