Do anything with a file where you actually have to touch every byte (e.g. parsing), it is pretty impressive to get anything to go faster than 100MB/s. 500MB/s is blindly fast, IMHO.

Yeah, parsing text with a state machine is slow. Parsing, say, HTTP at that speed would be impressive without SIMD. But this is a binary file full of fixed sized structures, hence my confusion.

Anyway, the answer is there, it's actually measuring the performance of sending the mesh to openGL, to the GPU, and getting a frame rendered.
