1. That doesn't change the fact that the code you posted is 
meaningless as a benchmark.

2. If such an approach is valid, then one may use 'cat' as a fast 
fizzbuzz implementation.  Clearly that is not very interesting or 
useful.  The question is about _generating_ fizzbuzz, not 
reproducing arbitrary text.  'The rules do not state that you 
cannot pre-calculate' is equivocation; such an approach is 
clearly outside of its spirit.

3. In the limit, the pregeneration approach will be bottlenecked 
by disc, which is slow.

4. Pregeneration cannot reach the limit anyway, because disc 
space is limited (streams are not).
