SSD or spinning platter?

  Spinning platter. ZFS with compression is probably helping that.

    Your OS is probably caching the file at the virtual memory layer, so it doesn't even have to hit the filesystem at all.

      A good lesson not to try to guess where the bottlenecks in a program will be. :)
