works great! I The timing is reportet in ms, but it seems to be seconds.
It took about 160s to write a 132 MB file on my local drive, but the time to read the file will greatly depend on the file system, caching and the reading strategy. Depending on your system the reading will be much faster the second time your open the file.
Notepad++ opens the file without any delay, as they only read the part that is displayed. The standard Editor takes about one minute to do the same, as they read the whole file at once. We can do the same on reading the file in chunks, as file operations are handled in the background by the hard drive, this operations do usually not put any strain on the processor.
So, if we do so we get a nice contest on file operations, but as you have not much control over the details on most high level languages, what does the contest really measure?
