When I saw this change, my first thought was, "wtf? just read the
whole damned file into memory". (I just haven't had time to look into
this to provide some actual advice beyond amazement)

Config files are NOT 100 megabytes. Read the damned things into memory
in one giant piece. I/O is reduced, memory is available. Everybody
wins.
