Coding an app in C which writes very large text files would probably be
the wrong choice for speed if the app was I/O bound (as is likely when
the files get large enough, or get pushed through some narrow bandwidth
bottleneck, e.g. on a network filesystem): using Python and writing
small binary files instead might easily get better optimization with
less effort.
