Why not simply leave the buffering to the OS? Not every <readline> will necessarily cause a physical disk access. Unless the lines are very long, there is a good chance that many lines will be read at once and made available to you without again going to the disk.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
