Hi,

From my tests on ruby-trunk( ruby 1.9.2dev (2010-04-23 trunk 27451)
[x86_64-darwin10.3.0], so OSX and maybe irrelevant? ),
I get significant improvement (2-3 times faster), but result is different.

In fact, the former use UTF-8 encoding, and the latter use
ASCII-8BIT(so BINARY).

If you force binary with:
File.read file, mode: 'rb', I - most of the time - get the same results.

So the source of the problem (at least on my system), is the fact
File.read(f) will use UTF-8, even when the file is binary (I used
7-zip and database).

On pure ASCII text file, it's about 30% faster.

Regards,
B.D.
