As I have tried to download a large dataset, I used readsdmx::read_sdmx to improve the performance of downloading and loading the dataset into R massivly. That is in line with the performance comparison on the corresponding package github page (https://github.com/mdequeljoe/readsdmx).

This speed improvement looks massive and would be very welcome to me as a user of this package. I'm wondering if @expersso plans to merge the PR?
