OK, I’ve implemented this much as your suggestion, and I’m also saving the hash 
object along with the data so I can avoid recomputing it when the file is 
imported. The huge file I’m testing with now opens in 2/3rds of the time (2 
seconds instead of 3). That’s now down from 11 minutes, so overall the 
optimisations are going quite well :)
