In my experience, fgetc() is pretty fantastically slow because you
have a function call for every byte (and, I gather, modern libc does
thread locking for every fgetc).  It's usually much faster to fread()
into a buffer and then access the buffer.  I don't know if that's
appropriate (or matters) here, though.

Have fun,
