"Adequate Record" does not exactly fill one with confidence regarding rails. This says "our last versions had inadequate performance,this one is just ok"

It's all tongue in cheek from tenderlove, someone with a long history of contributing to ruby and rails.

  What is AdequateRecord Pro™?
  AdequateRecord Pro™ is a fork of ActiveRecord with some 
  performance enhancements. In this post, I want to talk about
  how we achieved high performance in this branch. I hope you
  find these speed improvements to be “adequate”.
  
  Group discounts for AdequateRecord Pro™ are available
  depending on the number of seats you wish to purchase.

Sorry you felt that way. That project was sponsored by http://adequatehq.com/, so we don't really have much controll over that. Try emailing their marketing department maybe?

Oh, this reminds me of that Bill Hicks clip.

If you watch the closing keynote to RailsConf 2014, Tenderlove talked about that.

It boils down to: 1. It's a joke. 2. Enough with hyperbole.

He could have called it TurboRecord, but everything has to be "X on STEROIDS!!!!" these days, so "AdequateRecord" instead.

It's kind of silly to judge new features on their name, no? Adequate Record caches lookup strings, which increases AR performance considerably.
