: With a one megabyte file, you may be measuring the effects of paging in your laptop (as for elapsed time) as well as competition/interference with other processes. That was one reason why I used a multiplier for the '''do''' loop instead of increasing the amount of text read. The drawback is that (the multiplier) increases the locality of reference, and I don't know enough about the Microsoft Windows paging sub-system. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 20:36, 22 August 2013 (UTC) |
