But I don't understand how uncompressing a file before parsing it

be faster than parsing the original uncompressed file?
I didn't say "uncompressing a file *before* parsing it". I meant
uncompressing the data *while* parsing it.
Ah, ok that can work, although it does add a layer of processing
to identify compressed v uncompressed data, but if I/O is the
bottleneck then it could give an advantage.
