codecs is always faster (between 1.07 and 1.15 times faster than io) to read the whole content of file using read(-1). Something should maybe be optimized in TextIOWrapper.read() ;-)

Oh, I understood: it's maybe the universal newline mode of TextIOWrapper was enabled. If you disable is using open(..., newline='\n'), io and codecs run at the same speed to read the whole content of the file (f.read()).
