What papers say

Verbatim critique sentences, each from a paper that cites GPU decompression (CacheGen) as a baseline.

Unfortunately, this introduces a new problem: interference with model computation. We find that concurrently running decompression and LLM serving on the same GPU causes both tasks to slow down, often by ~30%.
