> In {{NullableVarLengthValuesColumn.java}} we have the following line of code:
> {code}
> currentValNull = variableWidthVector.getAccessor().getObject(valuesReadInCurrentPass) == null;
> {code}
> which creates an object to check nullability of every (nullable var char) value being read. This object creation is expensive and can be replaced with a simple check for the null bit.
