how to be faster than perl?

[Unknown W. Brackets]

I'm a bit tired, but does BufferedFile's opApply use a fixed buffer?  I 
doubt it does.  In this case, the foreach method is going to be a lot 
slower than reading lines into a buffer.

Check on the other methods of BufferedFile.

Sorry, I'd give a code example but I'm just doing a drive by.
