Description

Based on numbers from https://fastformats.clickhouse.com/ I see very poor performance of MsgPack format.
Cpu Usage and memory Usage are higher than CSV, TSV and almost the same as JSONLines despite that file size is smaller.
See screenshots below

How is it possible that efficient binary format with smaller file size performs so bad that simple text formats are much better?
Is it mistake in test? Or CH has very inefficient MsgPack parser?
