My  god,  the change you put in to correct the problem with TextIO.scanStream
really REALLY slowed things down.  Some test code  I  had  which  read  in  a
matrix  which  was 3660x1296 used to take 29.52 CPU seconds, and now it takes
1076.81 CPU second.  I.e., it slowed down by a factor of 36.  Mind  you,  the
code was a bit goofy, but still...
