That's not how this works, GPUs are fast because the kind of work they do is embarrassingly parallel and they have hundreds of cores. Loading a json file is not something that can be trivially parallelized. Also, zed use the gpu for rendering, not reading files.

I'd like to point out for those who aren't in the weeds of silicon architecture, 'embarrassingly parellel' is the a type of computation work flow. It's just named that because the solution was an embarrassingly easy one.

Huh, I was about to correct you on the use of embarrassment in that the intent was to mean a large amount, but it seems a Wiki edit reverted it to your meaning a year ago, thanks for making me check!
