It may be more efficient to read from disk to a fixed single-byte string type like ASCIIString from https://github.com/JuliaStrings/LegacyStrings.jl or ASCII from https://github.com/JuliaString/CharSetEncodings.jl

Julia's native string is unicode with flexible character byte size (apparently).

I'm not sure how much this would help, but the potential of having Unicode mixed in must have some overhead when using the internal String
