Have you ever tried Kiwix (https://www.kiwix.org ) and looked at the ZIM format (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZIM_(file_format) ), in particular those for Wikipedia (https://download.kiwix.org/zim ) ?

Yeah, I unpacked a ZIM to get data I'm deriving content from. But reading ZIMs are kinda slow compared to just reading a file from disk.
