Quick note to observe that all of the above while true becomes less of a practical issue as CPUs become faster vs i/o, which they have done and probably will keep doing.

Wait what no stop that what are you talking about. Transforming data and then transforming it back will always be stupid and costly – in more ways than one.

  Not if you save transit time that can be more quickly made up in processing time.

    True, but in this case we are converting to strings that are longer because they require quoting and escaping etc. Transit time will be longer.

Feels like you're a couple decades behind. Single core speeds haven't gone up much in the last decade, especially for "server" CPU models.

Isn't the opposite mostly happening, with CPU's single-core performance mostly flat for the last decade, while I/O speeds have been improving every year (especially in networking, not as sure about disk I/O).
