491 I bet the problem is in readln. Currently, File.byLine() and
492 readln() are extremely slow, because they call fgetc() one char
493 at a time.
494 
495 I made an "byLineFast" implementation some time ago that is 10x
496 faster than std.stdio.byLine. It reads lines through rawRead, and
497 using buffers instead of char by char.
498 
499 I don't have the time to make it phobos-ready (unicode, etc.).
500 But I'll paste it here for any one to use (it works perfectly).
