[pypy-issue] [issue1527] Universal Newlines in pypy are extremely slow

[Lefteris Stamatogiannakis]

New submission from Lefteris Stamatogiannakis <estama at gmail.com>:

When reading a text file with the universal newline option in open, pypy can be up to ~200 
times slower than CPython.

Test code:

f=open('textfile.txt', 'rU')

totalLen = 0
for l in f:
    totalLen += len(l)
print(totalLen)
