> I am loading the file from disk. However, my disk has bandwidth higher than 1.2 GB/s, and the file is small enough to end up in cache. Thus we are already limited by the processor. And we are not yet doing any parsing!
I really wish the author would show some proof for claims like this. io is a complicated beast and it's not certain that the subsystem could go faster with the patterns the code is doing or not. Plus there's no indication of what else is going on simultaneously on the system, so perhaps a background job spin up and the disk is io bound. We don't know and it appears that neither does the author.
