[erlang-questions] Erlang read file benchmark

[Bob Ippolito]

file:read_line does some pretty awful things, I'd expect it to be very
slow. That said, there should be a much faster yet still easy way to
do this quickly but there isn't one baked into OTP that I know of.

It would be nice to see results that show runtime without the startup/teardown overhead that the Erlang VM has, since it has a lot more going on than the perl interpreter.  I know he briefly mentioned that the difference seemed minimal, but he posted no results to show that.
