Recently I needed to analyze some mail logs. I needed to find the hosts

first wrote a D app. I then wrote it in perl and was amazed at how much
faster perl was. I expanded out to Java and Scala. For all four I used
the same source files and the same output was created.

This is a good benchmark for I/O and a practical regex. David, could you
please send (privately if you want) the file or some statistics about it
(bytes, lines, a representative sample)? Thanks!

One more thing before I forget - you may want to use byLine() for input.
In case the issue turns out to be related to I/O, it's much better we
improve byLine() instead of the streams library.
Thanks,
Andrei
