+## Performance Improvements 🚀
+
+> **📝TODO** *Update chart*
+
+DataFusion continues to focus on enhancing performance, as shown in the
+ClickBench and other results.

+ time for DataFusion" />
+
+**Figure 1**: ClickBench performance improvements over time Average and median
+normalized query execution times for ClickBench queries for each git revision.
+Query times are normalized using the ClickBench definition. Data and
definitions
+on the [DataFusion Benchmarking
+Page](https://alamb.github.io/datafusion-benchmarking/).
+
+Here are some noteworthy optimizations added since DataFusion 49:
+
+**Dynamic Filter Pushdown Improvements**
+
+The dynamic filter pushdown optimization, which allows runtime filters to cut
+down on the amount of data read, has been extended to support **inner hash
+joins**. This optimization dramatically improves the performance of inner joins
+when one of the relations is relatively small or filtered by a highly selective
+selection. Consider the following example:
+
+```sql
+-- retrieve the orders of the customer with c_phone = '25-989-741-2988'
+SELECT *
+FROM customer
+JOIN orders on c_custkey = o_custkey
+WHERE c_phone = '25-989-741-2988';
+```
+
+While previously the entire `orders` relation would be scanned to join with the
+target customer, now the dynamic filter pushdown can filter it right at the
+source, keeping the data loaded at a minimum. The result is an order of
+magnitude faster execution time. This
+[article](https://datafusion.apache.org/blog/2025/09/10/dynamic-filters/) goes
+into more detail about the dynamic filter pushdown optimization in DataFusion.
+
+The dynamic filter pushdown optimization in the TopK operator has also been
+improved in DataFusion 50.0.0, ensuring that the filters used are as selective
+as possible. You can read more about it in this
+[ticket](https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/16433).
+
+The next step will be to extend the dynamic filters to other types of joins,
+such as left and right ones.

Yes, there's this issue here:
