   > Is it possible to offload the decompression and processing of bytes
   
   I definitely think a first step would be to interleave the fetching of the 
next set of bytes and decoding. This might be as simple as adding `buffered(1)` 
to the stream returned by `object_store` and polling it every call to 
`poll_fn`. I'd be happy to get a PR up to do this, if you'd be willing to help 
test it out (I don't have any realistic CSV workloads)
   
   >  I had an idea to try to implement some kind of fan-out/fan-in somewhere 
under CsvExec so that one thread is just reading from disk and sending the raw 
bytes to other threads to decompress/csv_read/convert to recordbatches
   
   Doing this correctly is quite tricky as CSV permits unescaped newlines, 
which makes it actually impossible to know where a given record starts without 
having read all prior records, you can't just seek to the next newline 
character, as that might be part way through a record.
   
   That being said, a trick that I believe duckdb uses is to search for the 
next newline, and then test the first record against the expected schema, if it 
matches you have likely found a newline from which you can start reading.
