 A high performance CSV parser allows you to take advantage of the deluge of large datasets available. By using overlapped threads, memory mapped IO, and 
 minimal memory allocation, this parser can quickly tackle large CSV files--even if they are larger than RAM.

 Both options deliver the same parsing performance—DataFrame simply keeps the results in memory for convenience.
