Re: What's the most efficient way to write out many lines of data?

I have to say that I'm with flounder99 on this. Are your files on network drives, by any chance?

Just for comparison, you could try this (at the shell):

time dd conv=unblock cbs=100 if=inputfile of=outputfile
[download]

This is the bare minimum conversion. When I ran this compared to your Perl code, there was hardly any difference.
