For trading we focus on latency rather than throughput.
We cannot really accomplish much by telling a bunch of other companies to change the format they use to send data to all of their customers.
The article mentions 0.8gb/s to 1.8gb/s throughput.
If youre downloading something off the internet, the bottleneck isn't going to be converting the strings to ints.
Further if you're downloading that much data, it suggests even more that you should be using a more space efficient representation.
