Hello,

I tried for several times to import data from text-files, tab-separated 
csv's.
The import is not the problem, but the system time.

On the Darwin-version, the used cpu-time is about 10 times higher than 
on the carbon version.

on both versions I called

read.delim("file.txt")


because I am moving from Carbon to Darwin and I often import text-files, 
I hope to et a ssolution of this task.

Thanks for suggestions
