For the "10MB whole contents at once" test, we then have:
(assuming the code does no pipelining of disk I/O with decoding)

10MB / 980MB/s to read from disk = 10 ms
10MB / 250MB/s to decode to utf8 = 40 ms
10MB / (10ms + 40ms) = 200 MB/s

In practice, your results shows around 90 MB/s.  That's at least vaguely in
the same ballpark.
