Turned a weekend hack into a 1000× speedup: importing Firefox’s places.sqlite went from 4h ➝ 10s. 300k+ rows, clean architecture, future-ready stats. Full story here: https://reifschneider.digital/blog/taming-sqlite

Taming Firefox’s places.sqlite: A Weekend Performance Breakthrough

A bored-weekend side project turned into a tiny masterclass in database design. I rebuilt a “works-for-now” importer into a set-based, transactional loader and dropped runtime from 4 hours to under 10 seconds for 300k+ rows – on an average NVMe host with MariaDB. Same machine, same data, different architecture. Here’s the story, the thinking, and just enough code.

During the AeschTunes Top 40's run, two songs tied for the record of spending the most weeks at #1 (which was five weeks).

I'll reveal the first song with this post, and the other will be revealed as a response to this one.

The first of the two songs is "Carte Blanche" by Eloquent.

• 📊 Watch for high RAM consumption (>1MB per request) as sign of inefficient queries
• 🧮 Track loaded #Eloquent models count to prevent memory bloat
Optimize memory usage and queries:
• 🎯 Select only needed columns instead of retrieving all fields

Lessons From #Laravel #Eloquent Performance Patterns (Cheatsheet)

Optimize DB performance with LaravelDebugBar: track memory, duplicates, and models. Minimize RAM by selecting necessary columns using subqueries. Try chaperone() for circular relationships. Index columns for faster queries.

I have a recommendation for those who use #languagetool in the locally. I often get many error messages. I discovered #Eloquent (https://github.com/sonnyp/Eloquent/) which works quite nicely and hooks easily into KMail and LibreOffice and even Firefox.

This application is based on languagetool but it seems that it manages everything very efficiently. It's easy to install and easy to run.
