Looking at my 2 biggest data files with data from about 1990 for one
and 1995 for the other
2.2 MiB (2351153 bytes)
1.5 MiB (1537242 bytes)

and I don't notice any delays on using these files.
This laptop is multiprocessor (20 cores) 

vendor_id	: GenuineIntel
cpu family	: 6
model		: 186
model name	: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900H
stepping	: 2
microcode	: 0x4121
cpu MHz		: 400.000
cache size	: 24576 KB

but I don't notice any performance concerns with my old desktop.
