We have one box that's realistically not much faster than a computer you could buy today at Best Buy that's largely maintained by one guy in his free time. Oh, and it's running on software that isn't even supported anymore.
It's like saying, "Well, any old PC can do 4K video editing these days" and pretending like it shouldn't be an issue for someone trying to do it on an Intel Celeron PC running Windows XP.

Trying to read from a 16 million row table should be milliseconds on a ten year old think pad using an off the shelf database (sqlite) with a few GB of ram (assuming your drives aren't 10 years old). I could load up an ancient version of Postgres and get the same results. 16 million records in a database is jack and shit for even database systems developed thirty years ago. You aren't making any sense. If you're telling me that your hardware is too old to expect that level of performance, well then we're in violent agreement.
