[Question] Faster way to read the csv

[JHuenerberg]

Hey guys and thanks for the awesome work!

Could be a ReadAllLines() method, then run a Parallel.For loop to process all the lines in parallel way faster than the used single StreamReader ?

Why don't you try - there's benchmarks for the existing code so you can compare performance on your machine,.

1. This doesn't work for embedded line-breaks
2. This requires buffering the entire file in memory before processing it

Even for the cases where this would work, it would cause high GC pressure and promote a lot of Gen2 objects for all but the smallest of files that would not benefit much or at all of concurrency.
