Seems my response last night didn't get through.

What happens if you change it to use fgetc() instead of fread()?

Changing to fgetc() from fread() didn't make much difference. Again in
microseconds:

5780000
5691000
5682000
5737000
5745000

I think my method of adding one byte at a time to the record might be a
bit naive. I'll probably play around with these a bit more and see if I
can improve things a bit. I think that fopen() family would be much
more on par if I could add the assumption of one record per line (which
doesn't seem all that unreasonable).

Thanks to all for your suggestions and help so far.
