Why Python's Integer Division Floors (2010)
This is because 0.1 is in actuality the floating point value value 0.1000000000000000055511151231257827021181583404541015625, and thus 1 divided by it is ever so slightly smaller than 10. Nevertheless, fpround(1 / fpround(1 / 10)) = 10 exactly.
I found out about this recently because in Polars I defined a // b for floats to be (a / b).floor(), which does return 10 for this computation. Since Python's correctly-rounded division is rather expensive, I chose to stick to this (more context: https://github.com/pola-rs/polars/issues/14596#issuecomment-...).

Stuff I Learned during Hanukkah of Data 2023
That turned out to be related to pola-rs/polars#11912, and this linked comment provided a deceptively simple solution - use PARSE_DECLTYPES when creating the connection:
- Polars 0.20 Released
- Segunda linguagem
- Polars: Dataframes powered by a multithreaded query engine, written in Rust
- Summing columns in remote Parquet files using DuckDB
- Polars 0.34 is released. (A query engine focussing on DataFrame front ends)

preprocessing millions of records - how to speed up the processing
Try vaex, vaex, using lazy evaluation and parallel calculations, you should be fine.

High performance (for the consumer) time series storage?
I'd recommend QuestDB. Worked with it multiple times for different algorithmic trading needs and it didn't disappoint. If you want to load data fast, I'd recommend this Python library.

For stocks, what historical data do you store and how do you store it?
You might find vaex (https://github.com/vaexio/vaex) interesting if you work with HDF5.
