Memory optimizations to reduce CPU costs
Imagine that you are given the following task, with a file like this:Name,Department,Salary,JoinDate John Smith,Marketing,75000,2023-01-15 Alice Johnson,Fi...
Why we do that doesn’t actually matter, but the critical aspect is that we observed poor performance and high memory usage when using this approach. This saves us about 200 MB of memory, because we can now skip the padding costs by splitting the Item into its component parts. It makes perfect sense when you think about it, but it was quite a surprising result to run into when working on memory optimizations.
