Hi Phil,

Thanks for the positive comments.

With regards to time taken and peak working set, that was not our main focus. Our main focus was to reduce the number of allocations and reduce the time spent in GC. Unfortunately this data import process is not a standalone one time application. It is a part of a much larger application which is core to our entire platform.

You are right about the trade off between performance and readability. It is always a fine line!

Cheers,
Indy
