> Currently, for every read, the CRAR reads each compressed chunk into a byte[], sends it to ICompressor, gets back another byte[] and verifies a checksum.  
> This process is where the majority of time is spent in a read request.  
> Before compression, we would have zero-copy of data and could respond directly from the page-cache.
> It would be useful to have some kind of Chunk cache that could speed up this process for hot data. Initially this could be a off heap cache but it would be great to put these decompressed chunks onto a SSD so the hot data lives on a fast disk similar to https://github.com/facebook/flashcache.
