Comment:

 @SirLouen Naturally the performance tests speak for themselves, but I
 wanted to get an AI second opinion and sanity check on the query changes
 since I don't have much experience with `UNION ALL` as I recall. I've
 never used Claude, but I do have a Gemini subscription, so I generally use
 it exclusively for all my AI needs since I'm already paying for it.

 (I guess using Gemini could have been construed as marketing in the past
 since I was employed by Google, but since I was laid off in April, I have
 no financial interest here. As I understand, Gemini and Claude are not so
 different in terms of capabilities. Nevertheless, I know you're just
 having a bit of fun.)
