turbopuffer cuts disk read I/O by up to 80% with smarter vector rescoring
DanielLockyer · x · 2026-10-20
turbopuffer reports that rescoring fewer full-precision vectors cut disk read I/O by up to 80% on a production cluster. Lower disk I/O yields higher query throughput, especially on smaller VMs where full-precision vectors don't fit in memory — a practical optimization for vector search cost and performance.
