A quick check to see if there are any hardware bottlenecks. Ignoring use of a GPU, how many IPS is a quad core i7 (mentioned by jjenkov)? And how many instructions might it take to do something useful to a record? Say read 16 bytes and do some compares. Or would the SSDs be the bottleneck? Also, RAID1, not RAID0, so effectively just 1 SSD. Or NVMe? Wow, a google search says vendors are pushing for 32 GBps. (My SATA setup is obsolete.) Maybe it's purely a software problem.
