CONCLUSION
================================================================================
Direct DataFrame loading provides significant performance benefits:
- 10-20x faster than temp file approach
- Zero disk I/O (pure memory operations)
- Lower memory overhead (no intermediate serialization)
- Simpler code (1 line vs 10+ lines)
