Average of 8 seconds request down to around 80ms. Main issue being the original component in the application was making heavy use of the ORM and honestly, had I really taken a step back and hand crafted queries and used plain old PHP objects I likely might not have needed to rewrite in Go. Doing so however is a really great exercise and leaves perhaps the most complex part of the application nicely separated from the CRUD side of things so I'm still thinking it was a pretty good move.
