text: Title: Question around pydantic usage and performance 
  Body: ## Problem
  
  Pydantic is slow, there's no question around that. Pydantic v2 (just released) is faster but still, not as fast [as other libraries](https://gist.github.com/jcrist/d62f450594164d284fbea957fd48b743?permalink_comment_id=4619455#gistcomment-4619455)
  
  I'm curious as of why there's is a tight coupling to pydantic, given the performance impact.
  
  ## Suggested solution
  
  I'm not in a position where I can comfortably suggest a solution.
  
  ## Alternatives
  
  `dataclass` or `msgspec`
  
  ## Additional context
  
  I was benchmarking Nodejs's implementation of prisma (Hapi + Prisma) and Python's implementation (FastAPI + Prisma).  
  Initially, python's implementation was 50x slower in raw throughput, but with lots of optimization was brought to 25x slower. 
  
  We would love to use Prisma in our backend python web stack as it's more convenient and has better dev experience than other python ORMs, but there are concerns around performance.
