I mean this: consider a file, in_data, 6888890 bytes long, made of
all the integers from 0 to 999999 in a column.

Let's read it back:

  ifstream input_file("in_data");
  string data((istreambuf_iterator<char>(input_file)),
              istreambuf_iterator<char>());

These are the numbers, pretty good ;)

3_4-branch
----------
6.540u 10.440s 0:17.66 96.1%    0+0k 0+0io 202pf+0w

mainline
--------
0.110u 0.030s 0:00.14 100.0%    0+0k 0+0io 201pf+0w

So, probably we want to have this change for 3_4 too right?

Paolo.
