File Compaction's Real Impact on Query Speed, Tested Across Three SQL Workloads

Compacting 1,000 Apache Iceberg files into just six sounds drastic, but this benchmark shows why fewer, larger files can dramatically accelerate query speed. Testing across three SQL workloads, the results are clear: file count matters more than most users realize. We appreciate how this experiment grounds the advice in real performance data rather than theory. It's a practical reminder that storage hygiene directly shapes analytics speed.
