Feature Before Advanced Runtime After Advanced Runtime
Query Speed Standard performance. Significantly Faster. Benchmarks show ~30% faster runtimes; one case showed a 21x speedup.
Developer Effort N/A Zero. A single SQL command enables it for the whole project.
Code Changes N/A None. No need to rewrite SQL, change schemas, or alter BI tools.
Cost (On-Demand) Based on bytes processed Identical. You're still scanning the same data, so the cost is the same.
Value Proposition Stable performance. Massive increase in performance-per-dollar. Faster dashboards, more productive analysts.
Resource Efficiency Good. Exceptional. Slot consumption is reduced by ~32%, meaning less internal competition for resources.
