This library is 2x to 3x faster for parsing strings to binary floating-point numbers.

Before:

  • Parsing raw values:
FloatParsing<FloatType>          39763 ns        39758 ns        52350 items_per_second=25.152M/s
FloatParsing<DoubleType>         29812 ns        29808 ns        68765 items_per_second=33.5483M/s
  • CSV converter performance:
FloatConversion                 199539 ns       199508 ns         3498 items_per_second=40.0986M/s
  • Reading a CSV file of floating-point numbers (single-threaded):
276 MB (10000000 rows) in 1.481 s. => 187 MB/s.
276 MB (10000000 rows) in 1.441 s. => 192 MB/s.
276 MB (10000000 rows) in 1.417 s. => 195 MB/s.
276 MB (10000000 rows) in 1.418 s. => 195 MB/s.
276 MB (10000000 rows) in 1.430 s. => 193 MB/s.

Do we need to unvendor double-conversion?

No, we still use it for the other way round (float to string).

This library is 2x to 3x faster for parsing strings to binary floating-point numbers.
