There is your CopyReadLineText speedup, but I think there are too many 
open questions on it, e.g.:
   * should we change the line-end detection mode in text (non-CSV)     mode by looking for an LF preceded by an even
numberof     backslashes, or some similar logic?   * how do we decide when to use the memchr tests rather than char by
  char tests?   * is there a more economical way to code the searcher? (although I     could live with it for now)
 


So I suggest we take it out of the queue for now and kick it back to you.

cheers
