Seems like GzipFile.readlines is not optimized, file.readline works
better:
C:\py>python -c "file('tmp.txt', 'w').writelines('%d This is a test\n'
% n for n in range(10000))"
C:\py>python -m timeit "open('tmp.txt').readlines()"
100 loops, best of 3: 2.72 msec per loop
C:\py>python -m timeit "open('tmp.txt').readlines(1000000)"
100 loops, best of 3: 2.74 msec per loop
C:\py>python -m timeit "open('tmp.txt').read().splitlines(True)"
100 loops, best of 3: 2.79 msec per loop
Workaround has been posted already.
