~1x memory looks like just reading the entire file into RAM (that would still be slow).

It's worth keeping in mind that typical CPUs from the past few years to today have memory bandwidths of several GB/s. Disks have sequential read speeds of ~100MB/s; SSDs can easily do 1GB/s and above.

It's amazing to me how slow some stuff is even on modern hardware. Lazy programming abounds.
