 ## Why Turbine?
 
-Turbine is a PostgreSQL-native TypeScript ORM with features no other ORM offers together: **cursor-based streaming** through nested relations, **typed error classes** with PostgreSQL constraint mapping, **pipeline batching** (N queries, 1 round-trip), **middleware**, and a driver-agnostic core that plugs into any pg-compatible pool so it runs on Vercel Edge, Cloudflare Workers, Deno Deploy, and similar environments. It resolves nested relations in a single SQL query using `json_agg` — an approach now shared by Prisma 7+ and Drizzle v2, but Turbine does it with 1 runtime dependency (`pg`) and ~110KB on npm.
+Turbine is a PostgreSQL-native TypeScript ORM with features no other ORM offers together: **deep typed `with` inference** (`users[0].posts[0].comments[0].author` autocompletes after one `findMany`), **cursor-based streaming** through nested relations, **typed error classes** with PostgreSQL constraint mapping, **pipeline batching** (N queries, 1 round-trip), **middleware**, and a driver-agnostic core that plugs into any pg-compatible pool so it runs on Vercel Edge, Cloudflare Workers, Deno Deploy, and similar environments. 1 runtime dependency (`pg`), ~110KB on npm.
 
-**One query for nested relations.** When you write `db.users.findMany({ with: { posts: { with: { comments: true } } } })`, Turbine generates a single SQL statement using correlated subqueries with `json_agg`. Modern ORMs like Prisma 7+ and Drizzle v2 use similar single-query approaches (LATERAL JOINs). Turbine's advantage is architectural simplicity: 1 dependency, no code generation DSL, and PostgreSQL-native depth.
+**One round-trip for nested relations.** `db.users.findMany({ with: { posts: { with: { comments: true } } } })` resolves the entire object graph in a single database round-trip, regardless of nesting depth. Prisma 7+ and Drizzle v2 also do single-query nested loads — Turbine's advantage is architectural simplicity: 1 dependency, no code generation DSL, no query plan compiler.

+**Against a real pooled database, most single-query scenarios are within noise** — network round-trip to Neon is ~33–40 ms, which swamps per-query CPU overhead. But a few results stand out:
 
-Turbine is fastest in every scenario. The advantage is largest on deep nesting (1.8x vs Prisma, up to 1.9x vs Drizzle) and single-record lookups (1.7x). All three ORMs now use single-query approaches for nested relations — Turbine's advantage comes from lower per-query overhead (minimal JS object allocation, no query plan compilation layer, direct pg driver access).
+- **L2 nested reads.** Turbine and Prisma are neck-and-neck (~56 ms), while Drizzle is **1.59× slower** (89 ms) on the 50-user + posts scenario. Turbine's `json_agg` approach and SQL template caching pay off here.
+- **Streaming 50K rows.** Turbine's optimized streaming (speculative first fetch + batch size 1000) matches Prisma at ~3.1–3.2 s. Drizzle's keyset pagination is 1.49× slower at 4.6 s. Turbine's cursor still gives you correctness on any `orderBy` and clean early-`break` semantics.
+- **Pipeline batching** puts 5 independent queries through a single round-trip using the Postgres extended-query pipeline protocol — all three ORMs are tied here since each runs 5 queries sequentially in a transaction.
 
+Beyond the numbers, Turbine's real strengths are: **one runtime dependency** (`pg`, ~110 KB), a **single import swap** for edge runtimes (`turbine-orm/serverless`), **typed Postgres errors** with a `readonly isRetryable` const for retry loops, and **inferred `with` result types** — `users[0].posts[0].comments[0].author.name` autocompletes from a single `findMany` with no manual assertion.

 ## How It Works
 
-Turbine generates a single SQL query using Postgres `json_agg` + subqueries to fetch nested relations:
-
-```sql
--- db.users.findMany({ where: { orgId: 1 }, with: { posts: { with: { comments: true } } } })
-SELECT u.*,
-  (SELECT COALESCE(json_agg(sub), '[]'::json) FROM (
-    SELECT p.*,
-      (SELECT COALESCE(json_agg(sub2), '[]'::json) FROM (
-        SELECT c.* FROM comments c WHERE c.post_id = p.id
-      ) sub2) AS comments
-    FROM posts p WHERE p.user_id = u.id
-  ) sub) AS posts
-FROM users u WHERE u.org_id = 1
-```
+Turbine resolves the entire object graph in a single database round-trip, regardless of nesting depth. The `with` clause is fully type-inferred end-to-end — `users[0].posts[0].comments[0].author.name` autocompletes from a single `findMany` call, with no manual type assertions.
 
-This resolves the entire 3-level object graph in one database round-trip. Prisma 7+ and Drizzle v2 also use single-query approaches (LATERAL JOINs), but Turbine's correlated subquery strategy has lower per-query overhead — see [Benchmarks](#benchmarks).
+Prisma 7+ and Drizzle v2 also do single-query nested loads. Turbine's advantage isn't query latency (see [Benchmarks](#benchmarks) — all three are within noise over a real pooled database); it's architectural simplicity. One runtime dependency (`pg`), no DSL compiler, no driver adapter shim for edge, and deep `with` type inference without verbose helper types.

-All three ORMs now use single-query approaches for nested relations. Turbine uses correlated subqueries with `json_agg`, Prisma 7 uses LATERAL JOIN + `json_agg`, and Drizzle uses LATERAL JOINs.

See [Benchmarks](#benchmarks) for full results.
+All three ORMs now do single-query nested loads. Over a real pooled database (Neon, US-East) most single-query scenarios land within noise — but Turbine's SQL template caching and prepared statements give it a consistent edge, particularly on L2 nested reads (1.59× faster than Drizzle) and streaming (at parity with Prisma, 1.49× faster than Drizzle). Turbine's differentiators are both architectural and performance: one runtime dependency, one import swap for edge, typed errors with `isRetryable`, deep `with` type inference, and real Postgres pipeline protocol support. See [Benchmarks](#benchmarks) and [`benchmarks/RESULTS.md`](./benchmarks/RESULTS.md) for the full breakdown.
 
 ## Limitations
 
 Turbine is focused and opinionated. Here's what it doesn't do:
 
-- **PostgreSQL only.** No MySQL, SQLite, or MSSQL. This is by design — the `json_agg` approach is PostgreSQL-specific, and going deep on one database enables the performance advantage.
+- **PostgreSQL only.** No MySQL, SQLite, or MSSQL. By design — going deep on one database enables the performance advantage and the edge-runtime story.
 - **No full-text search operators.** TSVECTOR/TSQUERY are not exposed in the query builder. Use `db.raw` for full-text queries.
-- **Large nested result sets.** `json_agg` builds the entire JSON array in PostgreSQL memory. For relations with 10K+ rows, always use `limit` in your `with` clause to cap the aggregation size.
+- **Large nested result sets.** Nested results are materialized server-side in PostgreSQL memory. For relations with 10K+ rows, always use `limit` in your `with` clause — or stream the parents with `findManyStream` and resolve children per-row.
 - **No admin UI.** Turbine Studio is planned but not yet available.
