I've attached a patch to the bug. reading was so slow because the
fileio_readall() was increasing the buffer by 8kB in each iteration. The
new code doubles the buffer until it reaches 512kB. Starting with 512kB
it's increased in 512kB blocks. Python 2.x has the same growth rate.

Thank you. Too bad this was not caught a week ago, but the timing of
each method of each class is a bit hard to test for. Perhaps in the future.
