Jim,

Grab REXML and check out source.rb.  You might be able to use it, 
especially IOSource.  IOSource reads in 100 bytes at a time and checks it 
to see if it's "enough"; if it isn't, it reads in 100 bytes more.  I've 
optimized it as much as I can.  It probably isn't as fast as slurping the 
whole file, but it is easier on the memory.

Anyway, if you can use it, do.
