Incidentally, if anyone else can test this -- I put up the files at

    http://www.stanford.edu/~gi1242/tmp/public/

Since I have limited space, I only put up a lzma compressed version of
the non-random file (48k), and a perl script to replace all word
characters with random text. If you could download them and

    unlzma < xxx.log.lzma | mkrandom.pl > rand.txt
    fold -w72 < rand.txt > fold.txt

Now time cat rand.txt / fold.txt,
