Sequential I/O access for large files in Erlang

[Kay Kay]

For a particular use case of mine - I need to be dealing with some bulk 
text i/o  (medium sized multiple files of ~50 MB each ).

While looking for some best solutions , came across this blog here at -  
http://concise-software.blogspot.com/2008/09/blazing-fast-concurrent-text-io-in.html 
.

I am using - 5.7.4 beam emulator (on ubuntu) at the moment. I am trying 
to get some opinions on some of the recommended options , w.r.t this, 
that the community would suggest. Thanks.
