Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your patch. It looks like a simple optimization that can help.
Where are those other slowdowns you see?
If we want to speed up the configuration file parsing we could also optimize
the parser in config_file.c to buffer at the character level. (This seems a
more logical place to me than to optimize all specific stream types for
single byte access).
It might even be easier to rewrite some parts of this config parser using
the line based API we also use for reading diff files.
