also...in case you only want to read n bytes..

module test;

     ubyte[] buf;

     import std.datetime : MonoTime;
     auto t2 = MonoTime.currTime;

     // just read the first n bytes.
     int bytesToRead = 4; // change this n

     while ( !file.eof() && bufCount < bytesToRead )

     return;
