Can you help me check why the Daft .whl package built from this Dockerfile (in the resulting image) is larger than the one downloaded via pip, and also runs a bit slower?

Hi @shentaoss, I don't actually see a Daft build step in this Dockerfile. Did you share the entire file?

There are a number of build config parameters that could cause the manually-built wheel is larger and slower, such as which compiler or linker optimizations are enabled and whether debug symbols are stripped. I would encourage you to check out our build-wheel Github Actions workflow for information about how we build the official version of Daft: https://github.com/Eventual-Inc/Daft/blob/main/.github/workflows/build-wheel.yml

Thank you. There's a problem with my compilation method. I should specify the profile of maturin.
