When the stats cache was first implemented, we created a binary format of the stats in addition to the CSV cache, with the
--stats-binout
option.This was an attempt to directly load the stats into memory, directly into the Stats data structure and eliminate parsing.
However, it seems the decompression/direct-load approach actually takes a long time. Even longer than parsing the CSV file!
For "automagical" commands that uses Stats caches, we should just parse the human-readable CSV version of the cache, and eliminate the binary format.
