My first reaction was "is it really too slow?"
I tried it then
(defun read-it()
(loop for a from 1 to 100000 do
(with-open-file (f fn :direction :input)
(loop for a from 0 to 1000
collect
(read f)))))
And it ran for about an hour. That surprised me.
This is on a pentium3 - 800.
It's a lot faster in clisp on my 1.3ghz g4, about
three times.
I imagine a C program could munge the files to binary,
and isn't there a function to read floats as binary?
