'Apache Arrow R - is there a use case when data is stored in a database

I have all of my data in a Microsoft SQL database and i'm using R

From reading docs it looks like the main use case for Arrow is having the data as parquet files (unless the DB backend is Arrow-flight enabled)

Are there benefits to using Apache Arrow in my case? should i expect e.g. faster processing because of SIMD? or lower memory usage of the data stored in memory?
