+Summary: System.IO.StreamReader.ReadLine is incredibly inefficient
+
+Because it creates a new StringBuilder for each line and assembles the
+string one character at a time, just running this:
+
+  StreamReader reader;
+  reader = new StreamReader ("a 1.7Mb text file");
+
+  string line;
+  while ((line = reader.ReadLine ()) != null) { }
+
+Causes 10.7Mb of strings to be allocated.
