It depends on the specifics, but I converted a couple of scripts recently that would take minutes to run with Pandas that only took seconds to run with Polars. I was pretty impressed.
That was probably about what I got when I migrated some heavy number crunching code from Pandas to Polars a few years ago. Maybe even better than that.

It’s a typical experience. Polars is fast, and Pandas is very slow and memory-hungry. It would be one thing if Pandas had a good API, but it doesn’t.
