Which format is loaded fastest my JOSM?

JOSM supports many osm formats like osm,osm.bz2,osm.gz,pbf,obf. Among these which file format is fastest for processing?

I am not focusing on editing and uploading, downloading.

It'll depend a lot on your hardware (disk speed VS cpu speed), but also probably quantity of data and system memory.

Why not bench yourself ? Someone else's numbers might not match your usecase.

i want to know the fastest one theoretically, assume large quantity of data. I think binary files should be faster than xml files.

That's a bit like asking "how long is a piece of string, theoretically". You'll need to measure it, I'm afraid.
