It still has to go through the entire file and mark the offsets to the
start of every line.
The best way to do this is just to bite the bullet and do it.
There is no way to read say last 10 MB of the file or something? It's
very surprising why no such thing exists..
Sure, just seek() to the last 10 MB position and start reading from there.
