Subject: [ruby-talk:20254] File.readline(s)

I am reading a 55MB ASCII file  by using File.readline(s) which takes on
my machine about 22s. The same runs in Python using readlines(0x2000) in
about 9 seconds. Does anybody know whether there is a chance to speed
things up in Ruby by reading chunks like in Python.
