Research direction

Start by locating the parse_connectapi_typed entry point in the R package and reviewing the linked connect-extensions discussion. Benchmark it with large blobs of data, then compare behavior with typing enforcement removed or changed. Done means the performance cost and necessity of typing are established, with the chosen direction documented.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Performance of this can sometimes be slow for large blobs of data. Investigate performance and see if it's even necessary to enforce typing like this.
