[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60984] Load function on Windows is significantly slower than on Linux

[Rik]

Update of bug #60984 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Need Info

Follow-up Comment #2:

I think there may be something weirdly Microsoft-specific here with the
encoding of text files.

Assuming you have the file 'A.txt' created, can you try this code on both
Linux and Windows?


fid = fopen ('A.txt', 'rb');
tic; data = fread (fid, Inf, '*char'); toc
fclose (fid);

fid = fopen ('A.txt', 'rt');
tic; data2 = fread (fid, Inf, '*char'); toc
fclose (fid);


Is there a difference in reading a file based on whether it was opened in
binary versus text mode?
