+# This is an example of using Mysql::ResultSet#use_result [see docs for what that does]
+# this function is useful for those who have large query results and want to be able to parse them
+# as they come in, instead of having to wait for the query to finish before doing parsing
+# for me, running this on a query with 200_000 lines decreases total time to create an array of results 
+# from .82s to .62s
+# you can experiment with it by changing the query here to be a long one, and toggling the do_the_use_query_optimization variable
+# this also has the interesting property of 'freeing' Ruby to do thread changes mid-query.
