qsv table is much faster than column -t for formatting large amounts of tabular data. Probably not something people need speed from frequently, but helped my use case. xsv didn't work for me due to issues with larger tabular data.
for i in {1..1000}; do cat /proc/mounts >> bigfile; done
time column -t < bigfile
