IO is still a bottleneck without column-stores. The selectivity, compression and encoding alone can generate massive speedups because there's less data to process, and less to move through the execution pipeline.

But batch/vectorized processing on row-stores is gaining adoption. MemSQL and SQL Server also use similar techniques.
