Can you time both and show the exact timings?

Also, the file should not be plain ASCII (and probably not UTF-8,
either), so that decoding the text is included in the comparison.

Once again, please show exact timings.  "Pretty much instant" could be
0.01 sec vs 0.02 sec, which is still twice slower.

Thanks.
