Python(2.5) reads an input file FASTER than pure C(Mingw)

[n00m]

One more brick.
This time I compare list.sort() vs sort(vector<string>).
Incredible. Python does it by 8.3s / 2.75s = 3 times faster than C++.


import time
f=open('D:\\v.txt','r')
z=f.readlines()
f.close()
t=time.time()
z.sort()
print time.time()-t
m=int(raw_input())
print z[m]


#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include <ctime>

using namespace std;

vector<string> vs;

FILE *fp=fopen("D:\\v.txt","r");

int main() {
    int i=0;
    while (true) {
        char line[50];
        if (!fgets(line,50,fp)) break;
        vs.push_back(line);
        ++i;
    }
    fclose(fp);

    double t;
    t=clock()/CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
      sort(vs.begin(),vs.end());
    cout << clock()/CLOCKS_PER_SEC << endl;

    int m;
    cin >> m;
    cout << vs[m];
    getchar();
return 0;
}
