i had a lot of fun exploring the performance ceiling of csv and csv like formats. turns out binary encoding of size prefixed byte arrays is fast[1].

csv is just a sequence of 2d byte arrays. probably avoid if dealing with heterogeneous external data. possibly use if dealing with homogeneous internal data.
