Some initial testing with orjson indicates performance varies from
slightly better than pysqlite to about 2x slower depending on the type
of query.
Performance could be improved by building the Python list in rspy
instead of sending back json that needs to be decoded, but it may make
more sense to rewrite the hotspots in Rust instead. More testing is
required in any case.
The parsing step is considerably slower in Python, but if parsing
is moved out of the test function, Python wins at 45ms to Rust's 67ms
on 10,000 rounds, presumably due to the overhead of serializing to
Protobuf. Not enough of a difference to justify the inclusion of extra
dependencies and duplicating the lookup code in any case.
these builds are now available on

The add-on docs will be updated shortly to provide info on
using the new hooks and type checking.
