Once I needed to optimize a script for processing large CSV files that was running too slowly and consuming a lot of memory.

I decided:

  • To use generators for line-by-line data processing to avoid loading the entire file into memory.
  • To apply the pandas module for efficient data handling, but with chunked reading (chunksize).
  • To parallelize processing using the concurrent.futures module.

As a result, the script became significantly faster and used less memory, allowing me to process files several gigabytes in size without crashes.
