I'd also include a mention about using ResultSet.set() and
ResultSet.remove() to manipulate multiple rows at once (as opposed to
using Python-level loop constructs to achieve the same).  Point out
that Storm has been designed to let you write readable code that is
also efficient.

Another thing worth pointing out is the multi-table Store.find()
feature, and the ability to easily use aggregates and grouping with
ResultSets.
