## Summary
It turns out this is significantly faster when reading (e.g.) _just_ the
`METADATA` file from a zipped wheel.
I audited other `File::open` usages, and everything else seems to be
using a buffered reader already (directly, or in whatever third-party
crate it's passed to) _or_ is read immediately in full.
See the criterion benchmark:
