To be fair, quoting from the article:

But also, in general, yes there are pieces of software that do this - most recently Moment.js[1]. There was some discussion earlier this week[2].

It's unfortunate that performance is so rarely considered to be a feature.

There's plenty performance work going on in postgres. Most major releases had significant improvements in some aspect of that.

Postgres usually adds plenty of performance from one version to another.

Not much on .0 versions, those are more feature packed, but all the other time.
