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

Have you tried this now?

>     setvbuf(fp, buffer, _IOFBF, sizeof(buffer));

>         if(!fgets(vs[i], 100, fp)) break;

>     printf("%d\n", i);
>     end = clock();
>     t = (double)(end - begin)/CLOCKS_PER_SEC;

>     scanf("%d", &m);
>     printf("%s\n", vs[m]);
>     getchar();
